Psalm 34:18-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

18. I will confess to you in a great Church. I will praise you among a weighty people.

19. May those who are my unjust adversaries not be glad over me: those who have hated me without cause, and who nod agreement with their eyes.

20. For indeed, they spoke peacefully to me; and speaking with passion to the earth, they intended deceit.

21. And they opened their mouth wide over me. They said, "Well, well, our eyes have seen."

22. You have seen, O Lord, do not be silent. Lord, do not depart from me.

23. Rise up and be attentive to my judgment, to my cause, my God and my Lord.

24. Judge me according to your justice, O Lord, my God, and do not let them be glad over me.

25. Do not let them say in their hearts, "Well, well, to our soul." Neither let them say, "We have devoured him."

26. Let them blush and be in awe together, those who congratulate at my misfortunes. Let them be clothed with confusion and awe, who speak great things against me.

27. Let them exult and rejoice, who wish my justice, and let them ever say, "The Lord be magnified," who will the peace of his servant.

28. And so my tongue will express your justice: your praise all day long.
