11My friends and companions shun me because of my condition; my neighbors stand far off.
12Those who seek my life lay snares for me. They who seek my harm speak destructive words and say deceitful words all day long.
13But I, I am like a deaf man and hear nothing; I am like a mute man who says nothing.
14I am like a man who does not hear and who has no reply.
15Surely I wait for you, Yahweh; you will answer, Lord my God.
