Psalm 38:12-14

Common English Bible

¹² Those who want me dead lay traps;
    those who want me harmed utter threats,
        muttering lies all day long.
¹³ But I’m like someone who is deaf,
    who can’t hear;
    like someone who can’t speak,
    whose mouth won’t open.
¹⁴ I’ve become like a person
    who doesn’t hear what is being said,
    whose mouth has no good comeback.
