Psalms 34:13-17

¹³But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my own bosom.

¹⁴I behaved agreeably towards them as if it had been our neighbor or brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.

¹⁵Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew it not: they were scattered, but repented not.

¹⁶They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.

¹⁷O Lord, when will you look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, my only-begotten one from the lions.
