11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand afar off.
12 They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man, don`t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn`t open his mouth.
14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn`t hear, In whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in you, Yahweh, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.
16 For I said, "Don`t let them gloat over me, Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
17 For I am ready to fall. My pain is continually before me.
