13. But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
14. Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15. For in you, Yahweh, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.
16. For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
17. For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
18. For I will declare my iniquity. I will be sorry for my sin.
19. But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
20. They who also render evil for good are adversaries to me, because I follow what is good.
21. Don’t forsake me, Yahweh. My God, don’t be far from me.
22. Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.
