Psalms 35:19-28

19Do not let those who are my enemies for no reason gloat over me! Do not let those who hate me without cause carry out their wicked schemes!

20For they do not try to make peace with others, but plan ways to deceive those who are unsuspecting.

21They are ready to devour me; they say, “Aha! Aha! We’ve got you!”

22But you take notice, Lord! O Lord, do not remain far away from me!

23Rouse yourself, wake up and vindicate me! My God and Lord, defend my just cause!

24Vindicate me by your justice, O Lord my God! Do not let them gloat over me!

25Do not let them say to themselves, “Aha! We have what we wanted!” Do not let them say, “We have devoured him!”

26May those who want to harm me be totally embarrassed and ashamed! May those who arrogantly taunt me be covered with shame and humiliation!

27May those who desire my vindication shout for joy and rejoice! May they continually say, “May the Lord be praised, for he wants his servant to be secure.”

28Then I will tell others about your justice, and praise you all day long.
