¹³ But I am deaf to all their threats.
      I am silent before them as one who cannot speak.
 ¹⁴ I choose to hear nothing,
      and I make no reply.
 ¹⁵ For I am waiting for you, O Lord.
      You must answer for me, O Lord my God.
 ¹⁶ I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me
      or rejoice at my downfall.”
- Psalm 34
