- My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
- Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they devise treachery all day long.
- But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; And I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth.
- Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments.
- For I hope in You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.

- My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; 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 imagine deceits all the day long.
- But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
- Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
- For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
