8. I am feeble and utterly crushed;I groan in anguish of heart.
9. All my longings lie open before you, Lord:my sighing is not hidden from you.
10. My heart pounds, my strength fails me;even the light has gone from my eyes.
11. My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;my neighbours stay far away.
12. Those who want to kill me set their traps,those who would harm me talk of my ruin;all day long they scheme and lie.
13. I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,like the mute, who cannot speak;
14. I have become like one who does not hear,whose mouth can offer no reply.
