Psalms 35:11-21

11Unrighteous witnessesH5707 riseH6965 upH6965; they askH7592 meH7592 of things that I knowH3045 notH3808.

12They rewardH7999 meH5315 evilH7451 for goodH2896, to the bereaving of my soulH5315.

13But as for meH5315, when they were sickH2470, my clothingH3830 was sackclothH8242: I afflictedH5921 my soulH5315 with fastingH6685; and my prayerH8605 returnedH7725 intoH5921 mine ownH5315 bosomH2436.

14I behaved myselfH1980 as though it had been my friendH7453 or my brotherH251: I bowedH7817 downH7817 mourningH6937, as one that bewaileth his motherH517.

15But when I halted they rejoicedH8055, and gatheredH622 themselvesH622 togetherH622: the abjects gatheredH622 themselvesH622 togetherH622 againstH5921 meH5921, and I knewH3045 it notH3808; they didH3808 tearH7167 meH5921, and ceased notH3808:

16Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashedH2786 uponH5921 meH5921 with their teethH8127.

17LordH136, howH4100 longH4100 wilt thou lookH7200 on? rescueH7725 my soulH5315 from their destructions, my darling from the lionsH3715.

18I will giveH3034 thee thanksH3034 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: I will praiseH1984 thee among muchH7227 peopleH5971.

19LetH408 notH408 them that are mine enemiesH341 wrongfullyH8267 rejoiceH8055 over meH8130: neitherH408 letH408 them winkH7169 with the eyeH5869 that hateH8130 meH8130 withoutH2600 a causeH2600.

20For they speakH1696 notH3808 peaceH7965: but they deviseH2803 deceitfulH4820 wordsH1697 againstH5921 them that are quietH7282 in the landH776.

21Yea, they openedH7337 their mouthH6310 wideH7337 againstH5921 meH5921; they saidH559, AhaH1889, ahaH1889, our eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 it.
