² and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the congregation, called to the assembly, men of renown;

³ and they assembled themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and Jehovah is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the assembly of Jehovah?

¹ Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

¹ The king shall joy in thy strength, O Jehovah; And in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!

² Thou hast given him his heart's desire, And hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah

¹² Many bulls have compassed me; Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

¹³ They gape upon me with their mouth, `As' a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹⁶ For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.

³² The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him.
