Psalm 35:17-19

The Voice

¹⁷ Lord, how long will You do nothing but watch?
    Save me from their evil assaults, plots, and plunder;
    rescue my life from these hungry beasts, these ruthless lions!
¹⁸ Then I will praise You and thank You at the great gathering,
    in the company of the entire congregation.

¹⁹ Do not allow my enemies to boast at my expense,
    for they despise me without any cause—^[a]
    yet they wink at me—malicious, taunting winks.
