Psalms 35:19-28

19Do not let my deceitful enemies gloat over me without cause, nor let those who hate me for nothing wink an eye.

20For they never speak shalom, but devise deceitful words against the quiet ones in the land.

21Yes, they open their mouth wide against me, saying: “Aha! Aha! Our own eyes have seen it!”

22You have seen it, Adonai—be not silent! Adonai, be not far from me.

23Arise, awaken to my defense, to my cause—my God and my Lord!

24Vindicate me, Adonai my God, according to Your justice, and do not let them gloat over me.

25Don’t let them say in their heart: “Aha! Just what we wanted!” Don’t let them say: “We swallowed him up!”

26May they be ashamed and humiliated, those who rejoice over my misery. May they who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace.

27May they shout for joy and be glad, those who delight in my righteous cause. May they always say: “Exalted be Adonai, who delights in His servant’s shalom.”

28Then my tongue will declare aloud Your justice and Your praises all day.
