Psalm 35:18-21
The Message
17-18 God, how long are you going
to stand there doing nothing?
Save me from their brutalities;
everything I’ve got is being thrown to the lions.
I will give you full credit
when everyone gathers for worship;
When the people turn out in force
I will say my Hallelujahs.
19-21 Don’t let these liars, my enemies,
have a party at my expense,
Those who hate me for no reason,
winking and rolling their eyes.
No good is going to come
from that crowd;
They spend all their time cooking up gossip
against those who mind their own business.
They open their mouths
in ugly grins,
Mocking, “Ha-ha, ha-ha, thought you’d get away with it?
We’ve caught you hands down!”
Psalm 35:18-20
New International Version
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;(A)
among the throngs(B) I will praise you.(C)
19 Do not let those gloat over me
who are my enemies(D) without cause;
do not let those who hate me without reason(E)
maliciously wink the eye.(F)
20 They do not speak peaceably,
but devise false accusations(G)
against those who live quietly in the land.
