Psalm 35:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and came together;
they came together and struck me unawares.
They slandered me without letup.
16 They mocked me with ever increasing fury
as they gnashed their teeth at me.
17 How long,[a] O Lord, will you look on?
Rescue me from these ravening beasts;
preserve my precious life from these lions.
