Psalms 35:16-24

¹⁶they tempted me, they scorned me with mocking, they gnashed on me with their teeth.

¹⁷Lord, when thou shalt behold, restore thou my soul from the wicked-ness of them; mine one alone from lions.

¹⁸I shall acknowledge to thee in a great church; I shall praise thee in a firm people.

¹⁹They that be adversaries wickedly to me, have not joy on me; that hate me without cause, and beckon with eyes.

²⁰For soothly they spake not peace-ably to me; and they speaking in wrath-fulness of the earth, thought guiles.

²¹And they made large their mouth on me; they said, Well, well! our eyes have seen.

²²Lord, thou hast seen, be thou not still; Lord, depart thou not from me.

²³Rise up, and give attention to my doom; my God and my Lord, behold into my cause.

²⁴My Lord God, deem thou me by thy rightfulness or rightwiseness; and have they not joy on me.
