Lord, ^(C1)how long will You look on? Rescue my soul ^(C2)from their ravages, My ^(C3)only life from the lions.

I will ^(C1)give You thanks in the great congregation; I will ^(C2)praise You among a mighty people.

^(C1)Do not let those who are wrongfully ^(C2)my enemies rejoice over me; Nor let those ^(C3)who hate me for no reason ^(F1)(C4)wink maliciously.

For they do not speak peace, But they devise ^(C1)deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

They ^(C1)opened their mouth wide against me; They said, "^(C2)Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it!"

^(C1)You have seen it, LORD, ^(C2)do not keep silent; Lord, ^(C3)do not be far from me.

^(C1)Stir Yourself, and awake to my right And to my cause, my God and my Lord.

^(C1)Judge me, LORD my God, according to Your righteousness, And ^(C2)do not let them rejoice over me.

Do not let them say in their heart, "^(C1)Aha, our desire!" Do not let them say, "We have ^(C2)swallowed him up!"

May ^(C1)those be ashamed and altogether humiliated who rejoice at my distress; May those who ^(C2)exalt themselves over me be ^(C3)clothed with shame and dishonor.

May those ^(C1)shout for joy and rejoice, who take delight in ^(C2)my vindication; And ^(C3)may they say continually, "The LORD be exalted, Who ^(C4)delights in the prosperity of His servant."

And ^(C1)my tongue shall proclaim Your righteousness And Your praise all day long.
