14 I have become like one who does not hear,

whose mouth can offer no reply.

15 Lord, I wait for you;

you will answer, Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat

or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”

14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not,

And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope:

Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me:

When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

14 I choose to hear nothing,

and I make no reply.

15 For I am waiting for you, O Lord.

You must answer for me, O Lord my God.

16 I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me

or rejoice at my downfall.”

14 Thus I am like a man who does not hear,

And in whose mouth is no response.

15 For in You, O Lord, I hope;

You will hear, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Hear me, lest they rejoice over me,

Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me.”

14 I am like those who do not hear,

who have no answer to give.

15 I trust you, Lord.

You will answer, my Lord and God.

16 I said, “Don’t let them laugh at me

or brag when I am defeated.”

14 Yea, I am as a man that heareth not,

And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope:

Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, Lest they rejoice over me:

When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

14 Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. 15 For in thee, Jehovah, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God. 16 For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified themselves against me.

14 I am like one who cannot hear 

and who can offer no arguments. 

15 But I wait with hope for you, O Lord. 

You will answer, O Lord, my God. 

16 I said, “Do not let them gloat over me. 

When my foot slips, 

do not let them promote themselves at my expense.” 

14 I am like a man who does not hear

and has no arguments in his mouth.

15 I put my hope in You, Lord;

You will answer, Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me—

those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”

14 Truly, I am like one who does not hear,

and in whose mouth is no retort.

15 But it is for you, O Lord, that I wait;

it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.

16 For I pray, “Only do not let them rejoice over me,

those who boast against me when my foot slips.”

14 And so I am like a man who hears not,

and in whose mouth there are no retorts.

15 Rather for you I wait, O Yahweh.

You will answer, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Help, lest they rejoice over me,

lest they boast against me when my foot slips.”

14 I’m like a man who doesn’t hear.

I’m like someone whose mouth can’t make any reply.

15 Lord, I wait for you to help me.

Lord my God, I know you will answer.

16 I said, “Don’t let my enemies have the joy of seeing me fall.

Don’t let them brag when my foot slips.”

14 Yes, I am like a man who does not hear,

And in whose mouth are no arguments.

15 For I hope in You, O Lord;

You will answer, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, “May they not rejoice over me,

Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me.”
