Psalms 37:14 CPDV

¹²  My friends and my neighbors have drawn near and stood against me.And those who were next to me stood far apart.And those who sought my soul used violence.

¹³  And those who sought evil accusations against me were speaking emptiness.And they practiced deceitfulness all day long.

¹⁴  But, like someone deaf, I did not hear.And I was like someone mute, not opening his mouth.

¹⁵  And I became like a man who does not hear,and who has no reproofs in his mouth.

¹⁶  For in you, Lord, I have hoped. You will listen to me, O Lord my God.
