13. I am like a deaf person; I do not hear.I am like a speechless personwho does not open his mouth.
14. I am like a man who does not hearand has no arguments in his mouth.
15. I put my hope in You, Lord;You will answer, Lord my God.
16. For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me —those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”
17. For I am about to fall,and my pain is constantly with me.
