Do not let those who are wrongfullymy enemiesrejoiceover me; Nor let those who hateme withoutcausewinkmaliciously.
"Whydoes your heartcarryyou away? And whydo your eyesflash,
They have also surroundedme with wordsof hatred,And foughtagainst me withoutcause.
Princespersecuteme withoutcause,But my heartstandsin aweof Your words.
And my enemywill say,"I have overcomehim," [And] my adversarieswill rejoicewhenI am shaken.
O my God,in You I trust,Do not let me be ashamed;Do not let my enemiesexultover me.
But at my stumblingthey rejoicedand gatheredthemselves together; The smiterswhom I did not knowgatheredtogether againstme, They slanderedme withoutceasing.
For I said,"May they not rejoiceover me, [Who], when my footslips,would magnifythemselves againstme."
For I am readyto fall,And my sorrowis continuallybeforeme.
But my enemiesare vigorous[and] strong,And manyare those who hateme wrongfully.
And those who repayevilfor good,They opposeme, becauseI followwhatis good.
Those who hateme withouta causeare morethanthe hairsof my head;Those who would destroyme are powerful,being wrongfullymy enemies;WhatI did not steal,I thenhave to restore.
O God,it is You who knowsmy folly,And my wrongsare not hiddenfrom You.
He who winksthe eyecausestrouble,And a babblingfoolwill be ruined.
Who winkswith his eyes,who signalswith his feet,Who pointswith his fingers;
My enemieswithoutcauseHuntedme downlike a bird;
"But [they have done this] to fulfillthe wordthat is writtenin their Law,THEY HATEDME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'
