19 I will give you thanks in the great congregation; ♦︎
I will praise you in the mighty throng.
20 Do not let my treacherous foes rejoice over me, ♦︎
or those who hate me without a cause
mock me with their glances.
21 For they do not speak of peace, ♦︎
but invent deceitful schemes against those that are quiet in the land.
22 They opened wide their mouths and derided me, saying ♦︎
We have seen it with our very eyes.
23 This you have seen, O Lord; do not keep silent; ♦︎
go not far from me, O Lord.
24 Awake, arise, to my cause, ♦︎
to my defence, my God and my Lord!
25 Give me justice, O Lord my God,
according to your righteousness; ♦︎
let them not triumph over me.
26 Let them not say to themselves,
Our hearts desire! ♦︎
Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
27 Let all who rejoice at my trouble be put to shame and confusion; ♦︎
let those who boast against me
be clothed with shame and dishonour.
28 Let those who favour my cause rejoice and be glad; ♦︎
let them say always,
Great is the Lord, who delights in his servants well-being.
29 So shall my tongue be talking of your righteousness ♦︎
and of your praise all the day long.
