12. Those who seek my life lay their snares;those who seek my hurt speak of ruinand meditate treachery all day long.
13. But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear,like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
14. I have become like a man who does not hear,and in whose mouth are no rebukes.
15. But for you, O Lord, do I wait;it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
16. For I said, “Only let them not rejoice over me,who boast against me when my foot slips!”
17. For I am ready to fall,and my pain is ever before me.
18. I confess my iniquity;I am sorry for my sin.
