12
Those also who seek my life lay snares for me; Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction, And plan deception all the day long.
13
But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.
14
Thus I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth is no response.
15
For in You, O Lord, I hope; You will hear, O Lord my God.
16
For I said, "Hear me, lest they rejoice over me, Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me."
17
For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
18
For I will declare my iniquity; I will be in anguish over my sin.
19
But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong; And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied.
20
Those also who render evil for good, They are my adversaries, because I follow what is good.
21
Do not forsake me, O Lord; O my God, be not far from me!
22
Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!
