Psalm 35:15-17

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁵ But when I had troubles myself,
    they were happy.
They stood together
    and they laughed at me.
Even strangers attacked me
    and they would not stop.
¹⁶ Useless people like that insulted me,
    and they showed their teeth to frighten me.
¹⁷ My Lord, how long will you continue to watch
    as they do this to me?
Keep me safe when they attack me.
They attack me like hungry lions.
    Do not let them kill me!
