Psalms 38:12-15

¹²(38:13) They also that seek after my life lay snares; and they that wish for my mishap speak wicked falsehoods; and deceits do they devise all the day long.

¹³(38:14) But I, as a deaf man, hear not; and I am as a dumb man that cannot open his mouth.

¹⁴(38:15) Thus am I as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no words of defence.

¹⁵(38:16) For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
