14 But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.
15 So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.
16 In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God.
17 I said, Let them not be glad over me; when my foot is moved, let them not be lifted up with pride against me.
18 My feet are near to falling, and my sorrow is ever before me.
19 I will make clear my wrongdoing, with sorrow in my heart for my sin.
20 But they are strong who have hate for me without cause: those who are against me falsely are increased in numbers.
