Psalm 38:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ Like a deaf person, I can’t hear.
    Like someone who can’t speak, I can’t say a word.
¹⁴ I’m like someone who doesn’t hear.
    I’m like someone whose mouth can’t make any reply.
¹⁵ Lord, I wait for you to help me.
    Lord my God, I know you will answer.
