² and they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred 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 to them, You take too much on you, seeing all the congregation are holy, everyone of them, and Yahweh is among them: why then lift yourselves up above the assembly of Yahweh?

¹ > Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.

¹ > The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

² You have given him his heart's desire, And have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.

¹² Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

¹³ They open their mouths wide against me, Lions tearing prey and roaring.

¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evil-doers have enclosed me. They pierced my hands and my feet.

³² The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to kill him.
