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.
