^{19 Ref} Mine enemies rejoice not over me `with' falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.

^{20 Ref} For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,

^{21 Ref} And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
