Psalms 35:16-24

¹⁶With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.

¹⁷Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.

¹⁸I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.

¹⁹Mine enemies rejoice not over me with falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.

²⁰For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,

²¹And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'

²²Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord — be not far from me,

²³Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.

²⁴Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
