17. Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, My darling from the lions.
18. I will give thee thanks in the great assembly: I will praise thee among much people.
19. Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20. For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.
21. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22. Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23. Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice due unto me, Even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24. Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me.
25. Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26. Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt: Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.
