Psalm 35:17–28

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.

19 aLet not them that are mine enemies †wrongfully rejoice over me:

bNeither let them cwink with the eye dthat hate me d ewithout a cause.

20 For they speak not peace:

But they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

21 Yea, they fopened their mouth wide against me,

And said, gAha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

22 This hthou hast seen, O Lord: ikeep not silence:

O Lord, kbe not far from me.

23 lStir up thyself, and mawake nto my judgment,

Even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

24 oJudge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness;

And plet them not rejoice over me.

25 Let them not say in their hearts, †qAh, so would we have it:

Let them not say, rWe have swallowed him up.

26 sLet them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt:

Let them be tclothed with shame and dishonour that umagnify themselves against me.

27 xLet them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour †my righteous cause:

Yea, let them ysay continually, zLet the Lord be magnified,

aWhich hath pleasure in the bprosperity of his servant.

28 And cmy tongue shall speak of thy righteousness

And of thy praise all the day long.
