Psalms 38:12-15

¹²Those who have a desire to take my life put nets for me; those who are designing my destruction say evil things against me, all the day their minds are full of deceit.

¹³But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.

¹⁴So I was like a man whose ears are shut, and in whose mouth there are no sharp words.

¹⁵In you, O Lord, is my hope: you will give me an answer, O Lord, my God.
