American Standard Version
"But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth. "
— Psalms 38:13, American Standard Version
“But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.”
“But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.”
“But I am like a deaf man– I hear nothing; I am like a mute who cannot speak.”
“Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: give ear to my tears. Be no silent: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner as all my fathers were.”
“But I kept my ears shut like a man without hearing; like a man without a voice, never opening his mouth.”
“But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.”
My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all the day long.
But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.
For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
