17. Lord, how long will you look on?Rescue my soul from their destruction,my precious life from the lions.
18. I will give you thanks in the great assembly.I will praise you among many people.
19. Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me;neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
20. For they don’t speak peace,but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
