15. And--in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
16. With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
17. Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
18. I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
19. Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
20. For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
21. And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
22. Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord--be not far from me,
23. Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
24. Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
25. They do not say in their heart, `Aha, our desire.' They do not say, `We swallowed him up.'
26. They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
