15 But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered;
    they gathered together against me;
(A)wretches whom I did not know
    tore at me without ceasing;
16 like profane mockers at a feast,[a]
    they (B)gnash at me with their teeth.

17 How long, O Lord, will you (C)look on?
    Rescue me from their destruction,
    (D)my precious life from the lions!
18 I will thank you in (E)the great congregation;
    in the mighty throng I will praise you.

19 (F)Let not those rejoice over me
    who are (G)wrongfully my foes,
and let not those (H)wink the eye
    who (I)hate me (J)without cause.
20 For they do not speak peace,
    but against those who are quiet in the land
    they devise words of deceit.
