11. My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;my neighbours stay far away.
12. Those who want to kill me set their traps,those who would harm me talk of my ruin;all day long they scheme and lie.
13. I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,like the mute, who cannot speak;
14. I have become like one who does not hear,whose mouth can offer no reply.
15. Lord, I wait for you;you will answer, Lord my God.
16. For I said, ‘Do not let them gloator exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.’
