NET Bible
"But I am like a deaf man– I hear nothing; I am like a mute who cannot speak."
— Psalms 38:13, NET Bible
“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, hear not; And I am 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.”
“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 beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.
Because of my condition, even my friends and acquaintances keep their distance; my neighbors stand far away.
Those who seek my life try to entrap me; those who want to harm me speak destructive words; all day long they say deceitful things.
But I am like a deaf man– I hear nothing; I am like a mute who cannot speak.
I am like a man who cannot hear and is incapable of arguing his defense.
Yet I wait for you, O LORD! You will respond, O Lord, my God!
I have prayed for deliverance, because otherwise they will gloat over me; when my foot slips they will arrogantly taunt me.
