9Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee.

10My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.

12They 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.

13But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

14Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
