Psalms 35:16-20

¹⁶Like irreligious people mocking a cripple they mock me and call me names, gnashing their teeth at me.

¹⁷How long, Lord, will you sit by and just watch? Save me from their vicious attacks; defend the only life I have from these lions.

¹⁸Then I will thank you in front of the whole congregation and praise you in front of all the people.

¹⁹Don't let my enemies take pleasure in my troubles, those people who hate me and tell lies about me, gloating over me for no reason.

²⁰They are not looking for peace; they invent malicious and deceptive schemes against innocent peace-loving people.
