12
Those who want to kill me lay traps for me, and those who want to hurt me threaten to ruin me; they never stop plotting against me.
13
I am like the deaf and cannot hear, like the dumb and cannot speak.
14
I am like those who do not answer, because they cannot hear.
15
But I trust in you, O Lord; and you, O Lord my God, will answer me.
16
Don't let my enemies gloat over my distress; don't let them boast about my downfall!
17
I am about to fall and am in constant pain.
18
I confess my sins; they fill me with anxiety.
19
My enemies are healthy and strong; there are many who hate me for no reason.
20
Those who pay back evil for good are against me because I try to do right.
21
Do not abandon me, O Lord; do not stay away, my God!
22
Help me now, O Lord my savior!
