13. I am like the deaf; I cannot hear.Like the mute, I cannot speak.
14. I am like those who do not hear,who have no answer to give.
15. I trust you, Lord.You will answer, my Lord and God.
16. I said, “Don’t let them laugh at meor brag when I am defeated.”
17. I am about to die,and I cannot forget my pain.
18. I confess my guilt;I am troubled by my sin.
19. My enemies are strong and healthy,and many hate me for no reason.
20. They repay me with evil for the good I did.They lie about me because I try to do good.
