¹⁵ And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;

² Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.

⁵ Whoso is mocking at the poor Hath reproached his Maker, Whoso is rejoicing at calamity is not acquitted.

¹⁷ In the falling of thine enemy rejoice not, And in his stumbling let not thy heart be joyful,

¹⁸ Lest Jehovah see, and `it be' evil in His eyes, And He hath turned from off him His anger.

¹⁰ For I have heard the evil report of many, Fear `is' round about: `Declare, and we declare it,' All mine allies are watching `for' my halting, `Perhaps he is enticed, and we prevail over him, And we take our vengeance out of him.'

²⁷ then the soldiers of the governor having taken Jesus to the Praetorium, did gather to him all the band;

²⁸ and having unclothed him, they put around him a crimson cloak,

²⁹ and having plaited him a crown out of thorns they put `it' on his head, and a reed in his right hand, and having kneeled before him, they were mocking him, saying, `Hail, the king of the Jews.'

³⁰ And having spit on him, they took the reed, and were smiting on his head;

³⁹ and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, `Thou that art throwing down the sanctuary, and in three days building `it', save thyself; if Son thou art of God, come down from the cross.'

⁴¹ And in like manner also the chief priests mocking, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² `Others he saved; himself he is not able to save! If he be King of Israel, let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe him;

⁴³ he hath trusted on God, let Him now deliver him, if He wish him, because he said -- Son of God I am;'

⁴⁴ with the same also the robbers, who were crucified with him, were reproaching him.

⁶⁵ and certain began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say to him, `Prophesy;' and the officers were striking him with their palms.

⁵ And the unbelieving Jews, having been moved with envy, and having taken to them of the loungers certain evil men, and having made a crowd, were setting the city in an uproar; having assailed also the house of Jason, they were seeking them to bring `them' to the populace,

⁶ rejoiceth not over the unrighteousness, and rejoiceth with the truth;

¹⁰ For mine enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,

¹¹ Saying, `God hath forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.'

¹² Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.

¹ And now, laughed at me, Have the younger in days than I, Whose fathers I have loathed to set With the dogs of my flock.

² Also -- the power of their hands, why `is it' to me? On them hath old age perished.

³ With want and with famine gloomy, Those fleeing to a dry place, Formerly a desolation and waste,

⁴ Those cropping mallows near a shrub, And broom-roots `is' their food.

⁵ From the midst they are cast out, (They shout against them as a thief),

⁶ In a frightful place of valleys to dwell, Holes of earth and clefts.

⁷ Among shrubs they do groan, Under nettles they are gathered together.

⁸ Sons of folly -- even sons without name, They have been smitten from the land.

⁹ And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword.

¹⁰ They have abominated me, They have kept far from me, And from before me have not spared to spit.

¹¹ Because His cord He loosed and afflicteth me, And the bridle from before me, They have cast away.

¹² On the right hand doth a brood arise, My feet they have cast away, And they raise up against me, Their paths of calamity.

²⁹ If I rejoice at the ruin of my hater, And stirred up myself when evil found him,

¹⁶ And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.

⁸ Meet him doth desolation -- he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.

²⁵ They do not say in their heart, `Aha, our desire.' They do not say, `We swallowed him up.'

²⁶ They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.

¹⁷ For I am ready to halt, And my pain `is' before me continually.

⁸ A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not again.

⁴ My soul `is' in the midst of lions, I lie down `among' flames -- sons of men, Their teeth `are' a spear and arrows, And their tongue a sharp sword.

⁹ His anger hath torn, and he hateth me, He hath gnashed at me with his teeth, My adversary sharpeneth his eyes for me.
