10. All my bones will say, "Lord, who is like You, Who delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him, And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?"
11. Malicious witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I do not know.
12. They repay me evil for good, To the bereavement of my soul.
13. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fasting, And my prayer kept returning to my bosom.
14. I went about as though it were my friend or brother; I bowed down mourning, as one who sorrows for a mother.
15. But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered themselves together; The smiters whom I did not know gathered together against me, They slandered me without ceasing.
16. Like godless jesters at a feast, They gnashed at me with their teeth.
17. Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, My only life from the lions.
18. I will give You thanks in the great congregation; I will praise You among a mighty throng.
