Bible verse
How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
Psalm 35:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 35.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
14 I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.
15 But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.
16 Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.
17 How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
18 Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
19 Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.
21 They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
