38:13 But I am like a deaf man – I hear nothing;

I am like a mute who cannot speak. ¹ 

Mazmur 104:28

104:28 You give food to them and they receive it;

you open your hand and they are filled with food. ² 

[38:13]  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).
