 14 But  I,  as  a deaf  man,  heard  not: and  as  one that is  dumb,  who  openeth  not  his  mouth.

15 I became  as  a man  that  heareth  not; and  that hath no  reproofs  in  his  mouth.

16 For  in  thee,  O Lord,  have  I hoped:  thou  wilt hear me,  O Lord  my  God.

17 For  I said,  Let  not  mine  enemies  at  any  time triumph over  me: and  when  my  feet  slip,  they  have spoken great  things  against  me.

18 For  I am  prepared  for  scourges: and  my  sorrow is  always  before  me.

19 For  I will  confess  mine  iniquity: and  will  think upon my  sin.

20 But  mine  enemies  live,  and  are  strengthened against me: and  they  that  hate  me  wrongfully  are multiplied.

21 They  that  render  evil  for  good  spake  against me, because  I followed  goodness.

22 Forsake  me  not,  O Lord  my  God: go  not  thou far from  me.

23 Haste  thee  to  my  help,  O Lord,  God  of  my salvation.

Glory, etc.

1 Have mercy  upon  me,  O God,  according  to  thy great mercy.

2 And according  to  the  multitude  of  thy  tender mercies, blot  out  my  iniquity.

3 Wash me  yet  more  from  my  iniquity,  and  cleanse me from  my  sin.

4 For I acknowledge  my  iniquity: and  my  sin  is always  before  me.
