14as if for my friend or my brother. I went about bowed and in mourning, as one who laments his mother.
15When I stumbled, they gleefully gathered, strangers gathered around me, and tore at me without ceasing,
16impiously mocking and mocking, bearing their teeth at me.
17How long, Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their roaring, my precious life from the lions.
18I will then give you thanks in the great congregation, and praise you before many people.
