11. My heart shudders, my strength forsakes me;the very light of my eyes has failed.
12. Friends and companions shun my disease;my neighbors stand far off.
13. Those who seek my life lay snares for me;they seek my misfortune, they speak of ruin;they plot treachery every day.
14. But I am like the deaf, hearing nothing,like the mute, I do not open my mouth,
15. I am even like someone who does not hear,who has no answer ready.
16. Lord, it is for you that I wait;O Lord, my God, you respond.
17. For I have said that they would gloat over me,exult over me if I stumble.
18. I am very near to falling;my wounds are with me always.
19. I acknowledge my guiltand grieve over my sin.
20. My enemies live and grow strong,those who hate me grow numerous fraudulently,
21. Repaying me evil for good,accusing me for pursuing good.
22. Do not forsake me, O Lord;my God, be not far from me!
23. Come quickly to help me,my Lord and my salvation!
