Psalms 37:11-16

¹¹My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; And the light of mine eyes is not with me.

¹²My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still; And my nearest of kin stood afar off.

¹³While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: And they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, And devised deceits all the day.

¹⁴But I, as a deaf man, heard not; And was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.

¹⁵And I was as a man that hears not, And who has no reproofs in his mouth.

¹⁶For I hoped in thee, O Lord: Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
