Psalm 34:17-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. Lord, when will you look down upon me? Restore my soul from before their malice, my only one from before the lions.

18. I will confess to you in a great Church. I will praise you among a weighty people.

19. May those who are my unjust adversaries not be glad over me: those who have hated me without cause, and who nod agreement with their eyes.

20. For indeed, they spoke peacefully to me; and speaking with passion to the earth, they intended deceit.

21. And they opened their mouth wide over me. They said, "Well, well, our eyes have seen."

22. You have seen, O Lord, do not be silent. Lord, do not depart from me.

23. Rise up and be attentive to my judgment, to my cause, my God and my Lord.
