Psalms 35:22-28 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

22. You saw it, Lord; do not be silent.Lord, do not be far from me.

23. Wake up and rise to my defense,to my cause, my God and my Lord!

24. Vindicate me, Lord my God,in keeping with Your righteousness,and do not let them rejoice over me.

25. Do not let them say in their hearts,“Aha! Just what we wanted.”Do not let them say,“We have swallowed him up! ”

26. Let those who rejoice at my misfortunebe disgraced and humiliated;let those who exalt themselves over mebe clothed with shame and reproach.

27. Let those who want my vindicationshout for joy and be glad;let them continually say,“The Lord be exalted.He takes pleasure in His servant’s well-being.”

28. And my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness,Your praise all day long.
