Let not my lying enemies rejoice over me; Or those who hate me without cause wink their eyes.
Those who hate me without a cause Are more than the hairs of my head; They are mighty who would destroy me, My lying enemies; What I did not steal, I restored.
but...that the word might be filled which was written in their Torah, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’
Winks with his eyes, shuffles his feet, Points with his fingers;
But my enemies are alive; They have become strong; And those hating me falsely are many.
Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him,” Lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.
He who winks with the eye causes sorrow, And one with foolish lips falls.
For I said, “Otherwise they would rejoice over me, When my foot slips they would exalt themselves over me.”
My enemies hunted me down Like a bird, without cause.
Rulers have persecuted me without a cause, But at Your word my heart stood in awe.
They have surrounded me with words of hatred, And they attack me without a cause.
But they rejoiced at my stumbling And gathered together; The smiters gathered against me, And I did not know it; They tore in pieces without ceasing,
O my Elohim, in You I have put my trust; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies exult over me.
What have you taken to heart? And why do your eyes flash?
For I am ready to fall, And my pain is always with me.
And those who repay evil for good, They oppose me, because I follow what is good.
O Elohim, You Yourself know my foolishness; And my guilt has not been hidden from You.
