But I, as a deaf man, do not hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
KJV
But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

Commentary
But I, as a deaf man, heard not,.... He acted the part of a deaf man, and made as if he did not hear the mischievous things his enemies spoke; as Saul, when the sons of Belial spoke against him and despised him,
Sa1 10:27
; and as our Lord when his enemies accused him,
Mat 27:12
;
and I was as a dumb man, that openeth not his mouth; made no reply to what they said, and did not render railing for railing; in which Christ was the antitype of him,
Isa 53:7
.
