New Testament

Psalm 35:20-24 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

20. They don't speak words of peace. They make up false charges against those who live quietly in the land.

21. They open their mouths wide at me. They make fun of me. They say, "With our own eyes we have seen what you did."

22. Lord, you have seen this. Don't be silent. Lord, don't be far away from me.

23. Wake up! Rise up to help me! My God and Lord, stand up for me.

24. Lord my God, when you hand down your sentence, let it be in my favor. You always do what is right. Don't let my enemies have the joy of seeing me fall.
