15But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee;
they gathered together against me.
Assailants I did not know
slandered me without ceasing.
16Like godless jesters at a feast,
they gnashed their teeth at me.
17How long, O Lord, will You look on?
Rescue my soul from their ravages,
my precious life from these lions.
18Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly;
I will praise You among many people.
19Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause,
nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
20For they do not speak peace,
but they devise deceitful schemes
against those who live quietly in the land.
21They gape at me and say,
“Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
— Psalm 35:15-21
