Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.
Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, In whose mouth are no arguments.

I am like a man who does not hear and has no arguments in his mouth.
I’ve become like a person who doesn’t hear what is being said, whose mouth has no good comeback.
But I’m like a deaf man — I don’t hear it; and, like a mute, I don’t say a word.
I am completely deaf and can't make a sound.
Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, and be no more.
I am like those who cannot hear what people are saying about them. I cannot answer to prove my enemies wrong.

And so I am like a man who hears not, and in whose mouth there are no retorts.
But I am deaf to all their threats; I am silent before them as a man who cannot speak. I have nothing to say.
Lord, my longings are sitting in plain sight, my groans an old story to you. My heart’s about to break; I’m a burned-out case. Cataracts blind me to God and good; old friends avoid me like the plague. My cousins never visit, my neighbors stab me in the back. My competitors blacken my name, devoutly they pray for my ruin. But I’m deaf and mute to it all, ears shut, mouth shut. I don’t hear a word they say, don’t speak a word in response. What I do, God, is wait for you, wait for my Lord, my God—you will answer! I wait and pray so they won’t laugh me off, won’t smugly strut off when I stumble.
Thus I was as a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
I am like one who cannot hear and who can offer no arguments.
But I am like the deaf, hearing nothing, like the mute, I do not open my mouth,
Yes, I am like a person who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments.

Thus I am like a man who does not hear, And in whose mouth is no response.
Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, and whose mouth does not argue.
I choose to hear nothing, and I make no reply.
Truly, I am like one who does not hear, and in whose mouth is no retort.
Truly, I am like one who does not hear, and in whose mouth is no retort.
Truly, I am like one who does not hear, and in whose mouth is no retort.

Yea, I am as a man who heareth not, And in his mouth are no reproofs.
