19 Let not my wrongful enemiesproudly rejoice o'er me;Nor who me hate without a cause,let them wink with the eye.
20 For peace they do not speak at all;but crafty plots prepareAgainst all those within the landthat meek and quiet are.
21 With mouths set wide, they 'gainst me said,Ha, ha! our eye doth see.
22 Lord, thou hast seen, hold not thy peace;Lord, be not far from me.
23 Stir up thyself; wake, that thou may'stjudgment to me afford,Ev'n to my cause, O thou that artmy only God and Lord.
24 O Lord my God, do thou me judgeafter thy righteousness;And let them not their joy 'gainst metriumphantly express:
25 Nor let them say within their hearts,Ah, we would have it thus;Nor suffer them to say, that heis swallow'd up by us.
