Psalm 38:13

13 Pero yo me hago el sordo, y no los escucho;me hago el mudo, y no les respondo.

Psalm 38:13 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 38:13

But I, as a deaf [man], heard not
He acted the part of a deaf man, and made as if he did not hear the mischievous things his enemies spoke; as Saul, when the sons of Belial spoke against him and despised him, ( 1 Samuel 10:27 ) ; and as our Lord when his enemies accused him, ( Matthew 27:12-14 ) ;

and [I was] as a dumb man, [that] openeth not his mouth;
made no reply to what they said, and did not render railing for railing; in which Christ was the antitype of him, ( Isaiah 53:7 ) ( 1 Peter 2:23 ) ( 3:9 ) .

Psalm 38:13 In-Context

11 Mis amigos y vecinos se apartan de mis llagas;mis parientes se mantienen a distancia.

12 Tienden sus trampas los que quieren matarme;maquinan mi ruina los que buscan mi maly todo el día urden engaños.

13 Pero yo me hago el sordo, y no los escucho;me hago el mudo, y no les respondo.

14 Soy como los que no oyenni pueden defenderse.

15 Yo, SEÑOR, espero en ti;tú, Señor y Dios mío, serás quien responda.
