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! May 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.
