8 I am feeble and severely broken;
I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire
is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You.
10 My heart pants, my strength fails me;
As for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me.
11 My loved ones and my friends
astand aloof from my plague,
And my relatives stand afar off.
12 Those also who seek my life lay snares
for me;Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction,
And plan deception all the day long.
13 But I, like a deaf
man, do not hear;
And
I am like a mute
who does not open his mouth.
14 Thus I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth
is no response.
