Psalms 35:17 in context

Psalms 35:14–20

14

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother.

I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.

15

But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together.

The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it.

They tore at me, and didn’t cease.

16

Like the profane mockers in feasts,

they gnashed their teeth at me.

17
Selected verse

Lord, how long will you look on?

Rescue my soul from their destruction,

my precious life from the lions.

18

I will give you thanks in the great assembly.

I will praise you among many people.

19

Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me;

neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

20

For they don’t speak peace,

but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
