Psalms 35:19-28

19Do not let my deceitful enemies rejoice over me; do not let those who hate me without cause wink at me maliciously.

20For they do not speak in friendly ways, but contrive fraudulent schemes against those who live peacefully in the land.

21They open their mouths wide against me and say, “Aha, aha! We saw it!”

22You saw it, Lord; do not be silent. Lord, do not be far from me.

23Wake up and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!

24Vindicate me, Lord my God, in keeping with your righteousness, and do not let them rejoice over me.

25Do not let them say in their hearts, “Aha! Just what we wanted.” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”

26Let those who rejoice at my misfortune be disgraced and humiliated; let those who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and reproach.

27Let those who want my vindication shout for joy and be glad; let them continually say, “The Lord be exalted. He takes pleasure in his servant’s well-being.”

28And my tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praise all day long.
