9  And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord:

lIt shall rejoice in his salvation.

10  All mmy bones shall say,

Lord, nWho is like unto thee,

Which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him,

Yea, nnthe poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

11  †oFalse witnesses did rise up;

†They laid to my charge things that I knew not.

12  pThey rewarded me evil for good

To the †spoiling of my soul.

13  But as for me, qwhen they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth:

I ||humbled my soul with fasting;

And my prayer rreturned into mine own bosom.

14  I †behaved myself †as though he had been my friend or brother:

sI bowed down heavily, as sone that mourneth for his mother.

15  But in mine †adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together:

Yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not;

They did ttear me, and ceased not:

16  With uhypocritical mockers in feasts,

They xgnashed upon me with their teeth.

17  Lord, how long wilt thou ylook on?

Rescue my soul from their destructions,

†My darling from the lions.

18  zI will give thee thanks in the great congregation:

I will praise thee among †much people.
