11 My [a](A)loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;
And my kinsmen (B)stand far away.
12 Those who (C)seek my life (D)lay snares for me;
And those who (E)seek to injure me have [b]threatened destruction,
And they (F)plot deception all day long.

13 But I, like a person who is deaf, do not hear;
And I am like a (G)person who cannot speak, who does not open his mouth.
