13 But I was as a man that's deaf, And none of this [reproach] did hear; And as a dumb man silent was, And their false [cruel] speeches bear.
14 I was as one that heareth not, That could [to them] no answer make:
15 For in thee, Lord, I hope, and thou Wilt [hear and] answer undertake.
16 I said, hear, lest they over me Should triumph [prospering] in their pride, And against me lift up themselves, When overwhelmed I [fall or] slide.
16 I said, hear, lest they over me Should triumph [prospering] in their pride, And against me lift up themselves, When overwhelm'd I [fall or] slide.
