Context of Psalms 35:26

24Judge me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness and justice; And do not let them rejoice over me. 25Do not let them say in their heart, “Aha, that is what we wanted!” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up and destroyed him.” Let those be ashamed and humiliated together who rejoice at my distress; Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me. 27Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication and want what is right for me; Let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, who delights and takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.” 28And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness (justice), And Your praise all the day long.
