Psalms 38:13

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, 1 Samuel 10:27 ; and as our Lord when his enemies accused him, Matthew 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, Isaiah 53:7 .
