Psalms 35:19-28

19Do not let my treacherous enemies gloat over me. Do not let those who hate me for no reason wink ⌞at me⌟.

20They do not talk about peace. Instead, they scheme against the peaceful people in the land.

21They open their big mouths and say about me, “Aha! Aha! Our own eyes have seen it.”

22You have seen it, O Lord. Do not remain silent. O Lord, do not be so far away from me.

23Wake up, and rise to my defense. Plead my case, O my God and my Lord.

24Judge me by your righteousness, O Lord my God. Do not let them gloat over me

25or think, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up.”

26Let those who gloat over my downfall be thoroughly put to shame and confused. Let those who promote themselves at my expense be clothed with shame and disgrace.

27Let those who are happy when I am declared innocent joyfully sing and rejoice. Let them continually say, “The Lord is great. He is happy when his servant has peace.”

28Then my tongue will tell about your righteousness, about your praise all day long.
