18. I will give Thee thanks in the kahal rav (great congregation); I will praise Thee among the mighty throng.
19. Let not them that are mine oyevim gloat over me; neither let them wink with the eye that have sinas chinom (baseless hatred) toward me.
20. For they speak not shalom, but they scheme divrei mirmot (deceitful matters) against the rigei eretz (them that are quiet in the land).
21. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22. This Thou hast seen, Hashem; keep not silent; Adonoi, be not far from me.
23. Stir up Thyself, and awake to my mishpat, even to my cause, Elohai and Adonoi.
24. Vindicate me, Hashem Elohai, according to Thy tzedakah; and let them not gloat over me.
25. Let them not say in their lev, Ah, so would we have it; let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26. Let them be put to shame and brought to confusion together that gloat at mine ra'ah (disaster, distress); let them be clothed with boshet (shame) and kelimah (dishonor, disgrace) that exalt themselves against me.
27. Let them sing for joy, and be glad, that favor my tzedek (righteousness, vindication); yes, let them say tamid (continually), Let Hashem be magnified, which hath pleasure in the shalom (welfare) of His eved.
28. And my leshon (tongue) shall speak of Thy tzedek (righteousness) and of Thy tehillah (praise) kol hayom (all the day).
