15But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and gathered together; attackers gathered against me without my knowledge. They tore at me and did not stop.

16Like godless mockers for a morsel, they gnash their teeth at me.

17Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my life from their ravages, my precious life from the young lions.

18I will give thanks to you in the great assembly; among a mighty people I will praise you.
