13. But as for me, like the deaf I cannot hear, and I am like the mute who cannot open his mouth.
14. And so I am like a man who hears not, and in whose mouth there are no retorts.
15. Rather for you I wait, O Yahweh. You will answer, O Lord my God.
16. For I said, “Help, lest they rejoice over me, lest they boast against me when my foot slips.”
17. For I am ready to stumble, and my pain is before me continually.
18. For my iniquity I confess; I am anxious because of my sin.
19. And my enemies without cause are numerous, and those who hate me wrongfully are many.
20. And those who repay evil in return for good accuse me in return for my pursuing good.
21. Do not forsake me, O Yahweh. O my God, do not be far from me.
22. Hurry to help me, O Lord, my salvation.
