Psalms 38:13

But I am like a deaf man – I hear nothing; I am like a mute who cannot speak. ¹ 

2Sa 16:10-12; Ps 39:2,9; Isa 53:7; 1Pe 2:23

¹ sn I am like a deaf man…like a mute. The psalmist is like a deaf mute; he is incapable of defending himself and is vulnerable to his enemies’ deception (see v. 14).
