16. With crude and abusive mockers,they grit their teeth at me.
17. O Lord, how long will you look on?Rescue me from their attacks.Rescue my precious life from the lions.
18. I will give you thanks in a large gathering.I will praise you in a crowd ⌊of worshipers⌋.
19. Do not let my treacherous enemies gloat over me.Do not let those who hate me for no reason wink ⌊at me⌋.
20. They do not talk about peace.Instead, they scheme against the peaceful people in the land.
21. They open their big mouths and say about me,“Aha! Aha! Our own eyes have seen it.”
22. You have seen it, O Lord.Do not remain silent.O Lord, do not be so far away from me.
