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.”
17. For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.
