³ because of what my enemy is saying, because of the threats of the wicked; for they bring down suffering on me and assail me in their anger.

³ Because of the voice of the enemy,
Because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they bring suffering on me.
In anger they hold a grudge against me.

³ at the mean voice, quail before the evil eye, As they pile on the guilt, stockpile angry slander.
