10Lord, all my desire is before you; my sorrow is not kept secret from you.
11My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.
12My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.
13Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit.
14But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.
15So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.
16In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God.
