Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies; Nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.
Those who hate me without a cause Are more than the hairs of my head; They are mighty who would destroy me, Being my enemies wrongfully; Though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it.
But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’
He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers;
But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong; And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied.
Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him”; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved.
He who winks with the eye causes trouble, But a prating fool will fall.
For I said, “Hear me, lest they rejoice over me, Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me.”
My enemies without cause Hunted me down like a bird.
Princes persecute me without a cause, But my heart stands in awe of Your word.
They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause.
But in my adversity they rejoiced And gathered together; Attackers gathered against me, And I did not know it; They tore at me and did not cease;
O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me.
Why does your heart carry you away, And what do your eyes wink at,
For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
Those also who render evil for good, They are my adversaries, because I follow what is good.
O God, You know my foolishness; And my sins are not hidden from You.
