Context of Psalms 35:27

25Do not let them say, ‘Aha! This is what we wanted.’ Do not let them say, ‘We have eaten him alive!’ 26Punish those people who are happy when I have troubles. Make them ashamed and confused! Bring down those proud people who laugh at me. Make them feel very ashamed. But for those who want justice for me, let them shout aloud in their pleasure. May they always say, ‘The Lord is great! He is happy when his servant is safe and well!’ 28Then I will tell everyone that you are righteous. I will praise you all through each day.
