Psalm 35:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ But when I tripped and fell, they were all very happy.
    Attackers gathered against me when I didn’t even know it.
    They kept on telling lies about me.
¹⁶ Like ungodly people, they were mean and made fun of me.
    They ground their teeth at me in hate.
¹⁷ Lord, how much longer will you just look on?
    Save me from their deadly attacks.
Save the only life I have.
    Save me from these lions.
