Behold, He findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for His enemy.

Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me.

How can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people?

I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.

I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.

The assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor.

Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
