¹⁶ The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

¹⁸ Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

¹⁹ Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But Jehovah delivereth him out of them all.

²⁰ He keepeth all his bones: Not one of them is broken.

¹⁴ I behaved agreeably towards them as if it had been our neighbour or brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.

¹⁵ Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew it not: they were scattered, but repented not.

¹⁶ They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.

¹⁷ O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.

¹⁸ I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise thee.

¹⁹ Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.

²⁰ For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in their anger.
