13 I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,

like the mute, who cannot speak;

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.”

17 For I am about to fall,

and my pain is ever with me.

18 I confess my iniquity;

I am troubled by my sin.

19 Many have become my enemies without cause;

those who hate me without reason are numerous.

20 Those who repay my good with evil

lodge accusations against me,

though I seek only to do what is good.

21 Lord, do not forsake me;

do not be far from me, my God.

22 Come quickly to help me,

my Lord and my Savior.

13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not;

And I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

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.

17 For I am ready to halt,

And my sorrow is continually before me.

18 For I will declare mine iniquity;

I will be sorry for my sin.

19 But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong:

And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20 They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries;

Because I follow the thing that good is.

21 Forsake me not, O Lord:

O my God, be not far from me.

22 Make haste to help me,

O Lord my salvation.

13 But I am deaf to all their threats.

I am silent before them as one who cannot speak.

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.”

17 I am on the verge of collapse,

facing constant pain.

18 But I confess my sins;

I am deeply sorry for what I have done.

19 I have many aggressive enemies;

they hate me without reason.

20 They repay me evil for good

and oppose me for pursuing good.

21 Do not abandon me, O Lord.

Do not stand at a distance, my God.

22 Come quickly to help me,

O Lord my savior.

13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;

And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.

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.”

17 For I am ready to fall,

And my sorrow is continually before me.

18 For I will declare my iniquity;

I will be in anguish over my sin.

19 But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong;

And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied.

20 Those also who render evil for good,

They are my adversaries, because I follow what is good.

21 Do not forsake me, O Lord;

O my God, be not far from me!

22 Make haste to help me,

O Lord, my salvation!

13 I am like the deaf; I cannot hear.

Like the mute, I cannot speak.

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.”

17 I am about to die,

and I cannot forget my pain.

18 I confess my guilt;

I am troubled by my sin.

19 My enemies are strong and healthy,

and many hate me for no reason.

20 They repay me with evil for the good I did.

They lie about me because I try to do good.

21 Lord, don’t leave me;

my God, don’t go away.

22 Quickly come and help me,

my Lord and Savior.

13 But I, as a deaf man, hear not;

And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

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.

17 For I am ready to fall,

And my sorrow is continually before me.

18 For I will declare mine iniquity;

I will be sorry for my sin.

19 But mine enemies are lively, and are strong;

And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

20 They also that render evil for good

Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.

21 Forsake me not, O Jehovah:

O my God, be not far from me.

22 Make haste to help me,

O Lord, my salvation.

13 But I, as a deaf man, hear not; and am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. 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. 17 For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me. 18 For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin. 19 But mine enemies are lively, they are strong; and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied: 20 And they that render evil for good are adversaries unto me; because I pursue what is good. 21 Forsake me not, Jehovah; O my God, be not far from me. 22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation.

13 But I am like a person who cannot hear 

and like a person who cannot speak. 

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.” 

17 I am ready to fall. 

I am continually aware of my pain. 

18 I confess my guilt. 

My sin troubles me. 

19 My mortal enemies are growing stronger. 

Many hate me for no reason. 

20 They pay me back with evil instead of good, 

and they accuse me because I try to do what is good. 

21 Do not abandon me, O Lord. 

O my God, do not be so distant from me. 

22 Come quickly to help me, O Lord, my savior. 

13 I am like a deaf person; I do not hear.

I am like a speechless person

who does not open his mouth.

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.”

17 For I am about to fall,

and my pain is constantly with me.

18 So I confess my guilt;

I am anxious because of my sin.

19 But my enemies are vigorous and powerful;

many hate me for no reason.

20 Those who repay evil for good

attack me for pursuing good.

21 Lord, do not abandon me;

my God, do not be far from me.

22 Hurry to help me,

Lord, my Savior.

13 But I am like the deaf, I do not hear;

like the mute, who cannot speak.

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.”

17 For I am ready to fall,

and my pain is ever with me.

18 I confess my iniquity;

I am sorry for my sin.

19 Those who are my foes without cause are mighty,

and many are those who hate me wrongfully.

20 Those who render me evil for good

are my adversaries because I follow after good.

21 Do not forsake me, O Lord;

O my God, do not be far from me;

22 make haste to help me,

O Lord, my salvation.

13 But as for me, like the deaf I cannot hear,

and I am like the mute who cannot open his mouth.

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.”

17 For I am ready to stumble,

and my pain is before me continually.

18 For my iniquity I confess;

I am anxious because of my sin.

19 And my enemies without cause are numerous,

and those who hate me wrongfully are many.

20 And those who repay evil in return for good

accuse me in return for my pursuing good.

21 Do not forsake me, O Yahweh.

O my God, do not be far from me.

22 Hurry to help me,

O Lord, my salvation.

13 I’m like a deaf person. I can’t hear.

I’m like someone who can’t speak, who can’t say a word.

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.”

17 I am about to fall.

My pain never leaves me.

18 I admit that I have done wrong.

I am troubled by my sin.

19 I have many powerful enemies. They are strong and healthy.

They hate me without any reason.

20 They pay me back with evil, even though I was good to them.

They tell lies about me because I try to do what is good.

21 Lord, don’t desert me.

My God, don’t be far away from me.

22 Lord my Savior,

come quickly to help me.

13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;

And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.

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.”

17 For I am ready to fall,

And my sorrow is continually before me.

18 For I confess my iniquity;

I am full of anxiety because of my sin.

19 But my enemies are vigorous and strong,

And many are those who hate me wrongfully.

20 And those who repay evil for good,

They oppose me, because I follow what is good.

21 Do not forsake me, O Lord;

O my God, do not be far from me!

22 Make haste to help me,

O Lord, my salvation!
