Context of Psalms 35:26

24Judge me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness, And do not let them rejoice over me. 25Do not let them say in their heart, “Aha, our desire!” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up!” Let those be ashamed and humiliated altogether 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 let them say continually, “The Lord be magnified, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant.” 28And my tongue shall declare Your righteousness And Your praise all day long.
