14. I mourned for them as I would for a friend or my brother.I bowed down in sorrow as if I were mourning for my mother.
15. But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and gathered together;they gathered together to ambush me.They tore at me without stopping to rest.
16. When I tripped, they taunted me relentlessly,and tried to bite me.
17. O Lord, how long are you going to just stand there and watch this?Rescue me from their destructive attacks;guard my life from the young lions!
18. Then I will give you thanks in the great assembly;I will praise you before a large crowd of people!
