Psalms 35:16-25

¹⁶With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

¹⁷LORD, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.

¹⁸I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among many people.

¹⁹Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

²⁰For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

²¹Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it .

²²This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me.

²³Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even to my cause, my God and my LORD.

²⁴Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

²⁵Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
