14. But, like someone deaf, I did not hear. And I was like someone mute, not opening his mouth.
15. And I became like a man who does not hear, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.
16. For in you, Lord, I have hoped. You will listen to me, O Lord my God.
17. For I said, "Lest at any time, my enemies might rejoice over me," and, "While my feet are being shaken, they have spoken great things against me."
