Psalms 35 — Context

Like men of deceit they put me to shame; the voice of their wrath was loud against me.

Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.

I will give you praise in the great meeting; I will give you honour among a strong people.

Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.

For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.

Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.
