11. My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors 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.
15. Lord, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.
16. For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”
