25Do not let them say in their heart, “Aha, our desire!” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up!” 26May those be ashamed and altogether humiliated who rejoice at my distress; May those who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and dishonor. May those shout for joy and rejoice, who take delight in my vindication; And may they say continually, “The Lord be exalted, Who delights in the prosperity of His servant.” 28And my tongue shall proclaim Your righteousness And Your praise all day long.
