15. But when I had troubles, they laughed at me. They were not really friends. I was surrounded and attacked by people I didn’t even know.
16. They made fun of me, using the worst language. They ground their teeth to show their anger.
17. My Lord, how long will you watch this happen? Save my life from these people who are attacking me like lions and trying to destroy me.
18. I will praise you in the great assembly. I will praise you there among the crowds.
