19. Let not those who are wrongfully my foes rejoice over me; neither let them wink with the eye who hate me without cause. [John 15:24, 25.]
20. For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful matters against those who are quiet in the land.
21. Yes, they open their mouths wide against me; they say, Aha! Aha! Our eyes have seen it!
22. You have seen this, O Lord; keep not silence! O Lord, be not far from me!
23. Arouse Yourself, awake to the justice due me, even to my cause, my God and my Lord!
24. Judge and vindicate me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness (Your rightness and justice); and let [my foes] not rejoice over me!
25. Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, that is what we wanted! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up and utterly destroyed him.
26. Let them be put to shame and confusion together who rejoice at my calamity! Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify and exalt themselves over me!
27. Let those who favor my righteous cause and have pleasure in my uprightness shout for joy and be glad and say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.
28. And my tongue shall talk of Your righteousness, rightness, and justice, and of [my reasons for] Your praise all the day long.
