34:21. And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well
done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
34:22. Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not
from me.
34:23. Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and
my Lord.
34:24. Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them
not rejoice over me.

mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.

evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great
things against me.

justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights
in the peace of his servant.

long.
