17. Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18. I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19. Let not them that are mine 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 words against them that are quiet in the land.
21. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22. Thou hast seen it, O Lord; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23. Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24. Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25. Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26. Let them be ashamed and confounded together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27. Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
