16. With hypocritical mockers at feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17. Lord, how long will you look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my precious life from the lions.
18. I will give you thanks in the great congregation: I will praise you among many people.
19. Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20. For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.
22. This you have seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me.
23. Stir up yourself, and awake to my defense, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24. Judge me, O LORD my God, according to your righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
