Psalms 34:14-19

¹⁴As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.

¹⁵But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.

¹⁶They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

¹⁷Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.

¹⁸I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.

¹⁹Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
