Psalms 35:14-25

¹⁴I behaued my selfe as to my friend, or as to my brother: I humbled my selfe, mourning as one that bewaileth his mother.

¹⁵But in mine aduersitie they reioyced, and gathered them selues together: the abiects assembled themselues against me, and knewe not: they tare me and ceased not,

¹⁶With the false skoffers at bankets, gnashing their teeth against me.

¹⁷Lord, how long wilt thou beholde this? deliuer my soule from their tumult, euen my desolate soule from the lions.

¹⁸So will I giue thee thankes in a great Congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

¹⁹Let not them that are mine enemies, vniustly reioyce ouer mee, neyther let them winke with the eye, that hate mee without a cause.

²⁰For they speake not as friendes: but they imagine deceitfull woordes against the quiet of the lande.

²¹And they gaped on mee with their mouthes, saying, Aha, aha, our eye hath seene.

²²Thou hast seene it, O Lord: keepe not silence: be not farre from me, O Lord.

²³Arise and wake to my iudgement, euen to my cause, my God, and my Lord.

²⁴Iudge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousnesse, and let them not reioyce ouer mee.

²⁵Let them not say in their hearts, O our soule reioyce: neither let them say, We haue deuoured him.
