b'10 Mine heart panteth: my strength faileth me, and the light of mine eyes, even they are not mine own.11 My lovers and my friends stand aside from my plague, and my kinsmen stand afar off.12 They also, that seek after my life, lay snares, and they that go about to do me evil, talk wicked things and imagine deceit continually.13 But I as a deaf man heard not, and am as a dumb man, which openeth not his mouth.14 Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.15 For on thee, O Lord, do I wait: thou wilt hear me, my Lord, my God.16 For I said, Hear me, lest they rejoice over me: for when my foot slippeth, they extol themselves against me.17 Surely I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is ever before me.130'
