15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;(A)
    assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.
    They slandered(B) me without ceasing.
16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;[a](C)
    they gnashed their teeth(D) at me.

17 How long,(E) Lord, will you look on?
    Rescue me from their ravages,
    my precious life(F) from these lions.(G)
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;(H)
    among the throngs(I) I will praise you.(J)
19 Do not let those gloat over me
    who are my enemies(K) without cause;
do not let those who hate me without reason(L)
    maliciously wink the eye.(M)
20 They do not speak peaceably,
    but devise false accusations(N)
    against those who live quietly in the land.
