“But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.”
Psalm 38:13 (BSB)
Context Reading
11My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance. 12Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long. 13But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth. 14I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply. 15I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.
