Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, My darling from the lions.
I will give thee thanks in the great assembly: I will praise thee among much people.
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice due unto me, Even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
