9. Lord, you know everything I want;my cries are not hidden from you.
10. My heart pounds, and my strength is gone.I am losing my sight.
11. Because of my wounds, my friends and neighbors avoid me,and my relatives stay far away.
12. Some people set traps to kill me.Those who want to hurt me plan trouble;all day long they think up lies.
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.”
