7 For without guilt they hid their snare for me: without guilt they dug it for my soul.

8 Let sudden destruction come upon him, and let his snare which he hid for me catch him; let him fall into it to perdition.

9 But my soul will rejoice in the Lord, will rejoice in salvation from him.

10 All my bones will say, "Lord! who is like Thee, who delivereth the weak from the strong, the poor and needy from his robber?"

11 Unrighteous witnesses have risen up against me: what I do not know, they are questioning me;

12 They repay me evil for good, orphanhood to my soul.

13 In the time of their sickness I clothed myself in sackcloth, and weary my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned to my bosom.

14 I have walked as if it were my friend, my brother; I walked mournful, with my head bowed, as if mourning my mother.

15 And when I stumbled, they rejoiced, and gathered together; scoffers gathered against me, I don't know why, they reviled me and did not cease;

16 With hypocritical mockers they gnashed their teeth at me.

17 Lord! How long will you look at this? Take away my soul from their wickedness, from the lions my lonely one.

18 I will praise thee in the great assembly, I will praise thee in the midst of a multitude of people,

19 lest those who are enemies against me unrighteously triumph over me, and let not those who hate me innocently wink at each other's eyes.

20 For they do not speak of peace, but against the peaceful of the earth they devise evil designs;

21 They open their mouths against me; They say: "Good! Ok! our eye has seen."

22 Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not silent; God! Do not depart from me.

23 Move, awake to my judgment, to my litigation, O my God and my Lord!

24 Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God, and let them not triumph over me;

25 Let them not say in their hearts, 'Well done! [good!] according to our soul!"

26 Let all be ashamed and ashamed who rejoice in my misfortune; let them be clothed with shame and disgrace who boast over me.

27 Let those who desire my righteousness rejoice and be glad, and say without ceasing, 'Let the Lord be magnified, who desires peace for his servant!'
