Psalms 34:15-22

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.

¹⁸I will give thanks to you even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise you.

¹⁹Let not them that are my enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.

²⁰For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in their anger.

²¹And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

²²You have seen it, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not yourself from me.
