16. They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17. Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
18. I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
19. Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
20. For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
21. And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
22. Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
23. Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
24. Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.
25. Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.
26. Let them blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.
27. Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.
28. Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
