Psalms:35:15-21
rsv@Psalms:35:15 @ as though I grieved for my friend or my brother; I went about as one who laments his mother, bowed down and in mourning.
rsv@Psalms:35:16 @ But at my stumbling they gathered in glee, they gathered together against me; cripples whom I knew not slandered me without ceasing;
rsv@Psalms:35:17 @ they impiously mocked more and more, gnashing at me with their teeth.
rsv@Psalms:35:18 @ How long, O LORD, wilt thou look on? Rescue me from their ravages, my life from the lions!
rsv@Psalms:35:19 @ Then I will thank thee in the great congregation; in the mighty throng I will praise thee.
rsv@Psalms:35:20 @ Let not those rejoice over me who are wrongfully my foes, and let not those wink the eye who hate me without cause.
rsv@Psalms:35:21 @ For they do not speak peace, but against those who are quiet in the land they conceive words of deceit.
