- Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and delight in his salvation.
- My whole being will exclaim, "Who is like you, O LORD ? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them."
- Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about.
- They repay me evil for good and leave my soul forlorn.
- Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
|
- I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother.
- But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; attackers gathered against me when I was unaware. They slandered me without ceasing.
- Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked ; they gnashed their teeth at me.
