13 While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.
14 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
15 And I was as a man that hears not, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.
16 For I hoped in thee, O Lord: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
17 For I said, Lest mine enemies rejoice against me: for when my feet were moved, they spoke boastingly against me.
