17 O Lord, how long will you look on?
    Restore my soul from their destruction,
    my very life from lions!(A)
18 Then I will thank you in the great assembly;
    I will praise you before the mighty throng.(B)
19 Do not let lying foes rejoice over me,
    my undeserved enemies wink knowingly.(C)
20 They speak no words of peace,
    but against the quiet in the land
    they fashion deceitful speech.(D)
21 They open wide their mouths against me.
    They say, “Aha! Good!
    Our eyes have seen it!”(E)

17 How long,(A) Lord, will you look on?
    Rescue me from their ravages,
    my precious life(B) from these lions.(C)
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;(D)
    among the throngs(E) I will praise you.(F)
19 Do not let those gloat over me
    who are my enemies(G) without cause;
do not let those who hate me without reason(H)
    maliciously wink the eye.(I)
20 They do not speak peaceably,
    but devise false accusations(J)
    against those who live quietly in the land.
21 They sneer(K) at me and say, “Aha! Aha!(L)
    With our own eyes we have seen it.”

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.
