18 In the great Congregation then ‖ I will give thanks to thee; ‖ among much and great People I ‖ will render praise to thee. ‖
19 My wrongful enemies, may they ‖ not triumph over me; ‖ nor who hate me without a cause ‖ wink with a scornful eye. ‖
20 Because they speak not peaceably, ‖ but words they do devise ‖ full of deceit against such as ‖ are quiet in the Land. ‖
