Psalm 35:15-18
The Message

15-16 But when I was down
    they threw a party!
All the nameless misfits of the town came
    chanting insults about me.
Like barbarians desecrating a shrine,
    they destroyed my reputation.

17-18 God, how long are you going
    to stand there doing nothing?
Save me from their brutalities;
    everything I’ve got is being thrown to the lions.
I will give you full credit
    when everyone gathers for worship;
When the people turn out in force
    I will say my Hallelujahs.

Psalm 35:15-17
New International Version

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)
