Psalms 34:17-22

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

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

¹⁹Let not them that are mine 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.

²²Thou hast seen it, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not thyself from me.
