9. But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
10. All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
11. Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
12. They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.
13. But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
14. As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
15. But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
16. They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17. Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
18. I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
