14 Like a neighbor, and like our brother, so did I please; like one mourning and contrite, so was I humbled.
15 And they have been joyful against me, and they joined together. Scourges have been gathered over me, and I was ignorant of it.
16 They have been scattered, yet they were unremorseful. They have tested me. They scoffed at me with scorn. They gnashed their teeth over me.
17 Lord, when will you look down upon me? Restore my soul from before their malice, my only one from before the lions.
18 I will confess to you in a great Church. I will praise you among a weighty people.
19 May those who are my unjust adversaries not be glad over me: those who have hated me without cause, and who nod agreement with their eyes.
20 For indeed, they spoke peacefully to me; and speaking with passion to the earth, they intended deceit.
