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 tear
me,
and
ceased not:
16
With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17
Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling
from the lions.
18
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
neither
let them wink
with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against
them that are
quiet in
the land.
21
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me,
and
said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen
it.
22
This
thou hast seen, O L
ORD
: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23
Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment,
even
unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24
Judge me, O L
ORD
my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over
me.
25
Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have
swallowed him up.
26
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them
be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify
themselves
against me.
27
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say
continually, Let the L
ORD
be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his
servant.
28
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness
and
of thy praise all the day long.
CHAPTER 36
The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart,
that there is
no fear of God before his eyes.
2
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
3
The words of his mouth
are
iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise,
and
to do good.
4
He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way
that is
not good; he abhorreth
not evil.
5
Thy mercy, O L
ORD
,
is
in the heavens;
and
thy faithfulness
reacheth
unto the clouds.
6
Thy righteousness
is
like the great mountains; thy judgments
are
a great deep: O L
ORD
,
thou preservest man and beast.
7
How excellent
is
thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust
under the shadow of thy wings.
