Read in context

Psalms 35:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.

15 But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.

16 Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.

17 How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.

18 Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
