15. But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered together; smiters whom I did not know gathered against me. They tore and did not cease.
16. Among the ungodly of the mockers at feasts, they gnashed at me with their teeth.
17. My Lord, how long will you watch? Restore my life from their ravages, my only life from the young lions.
