Holy Scripture
Psalms 34:18
A church father on this verse
“He who has despised present things, and has given himself to the word of God and is using his mind for thoughts that are above and are more divine, he would be the one who has a contrite heart and has made it a sacrifice that is not despised by the Lord. For "a contrite and humbled heart, O God, you will not despise."…”

In context
16They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, They gnashed their teeth upon me.
17O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, Mine only begotten one from the lions.
— Psalms 34:18 —
19Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; Who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
20For to me they spoke peaceably, But imagined deceits in their anger.
