13 I am like a deaf person; I do not hear. I am like a speechless person who does not open his mouth.

13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak;

14 I am like a man who does not hear and has no arguments in his mouth.

14 I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.

15 I put my hope in You, Lord; You will answer, Lord my God.

21 LORD, do not forsake me; do not be far from me, my God.

22 Hurry to help me, Lord, my Savior.

22 Come quickly to help me, my Lord and my Savior.
