13 But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear,
    like (A)a mute man who does not open his mouth.
14 I have become like a man who does not hear,
    and in whose mouth are no (B)rebukes.

15 But for (C)you, O Lord, do I wait;
    it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.
16 For I said, “Only (D)let them not rejoice over me,
    who (E)boast against me when my (F)foot slips!”

17 For I am (G)ready to fall,
    and my pain is ever before me.
18 I (H)confess my iniquity;
    I am (I)sorry for my sin.
19 But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty,
    and many are those who hate me (J)wrongfully.
20 Those who (K)render me evil for good
    (L)accuse me because I (M)follow after good.

21 Do not forsake me, O Lord!
    O my God, be not (N)far from me!
22 (O)Make haste to help me,
    O Lord, my (P)salvation!
