Psalms 35:16-23

¹⁶With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth against me.

¹⁷Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions.

¹⁸I will give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much people.

¹⁹Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; let them not wink with the eye that hate me without cause.

²⁰For they speak not peace; and they devise deceitful words against the quiet in the land.

²¹And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha! aha! our eye hath seen it.

²²Thou hast seen it, Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.

²³Stir up thyself, and awake for my right, for my cause, my God and Lord!
