- O Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my life from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
- I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among throngs of people I will praise you.
- Let not those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; let not those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye.
- They do not speak peaceably, but devise false accusations against those who live quietly in the land.
- They gape at me and say, "Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we have seen it."
|
- O LORD, you have seen this; be not silent. Do not be far from me, O Lord.
- Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord.
- Vindicate me in your righteousness, O LORD my God; do not let them gloat over me.
- Do not let them think, "Aha, just what we wanted!" or say, "We have swallowed him up."
- May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace.
|
- May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, "The LORD be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant."
- My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long.
