19. Let not those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me. Nor let those who hate me without cause wink the eye.
20. For they do not speak peace, but against the quiet ones of the land they plan deceitful words.
21. They also made wide their mouths against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eyes have seen it.”
22. You have seen, O Yahweh. Do not be deaf. O Lord, do not be far from me.
23. Wake up and rouse yourself for my right, for my cause, O my God and my Lord.
24. Vindicate me according to your righteousness, O Yahweh my God, and do not let them rejoice over me.
25. Do not let them say in their hearts, “Aha, our desire.” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up.”
26. Let them be shamed and abashed altogether, who rejoice at my misfortune. Let them put on shame and insult, who magnify themselves against me.
27. Let them shout for joy and be glad, who delight in my vindication; and let them say continually, “Yahweh is great, who delights in the welfare of his servant.”
28. Then my tongue will proclaim your righteousness, and your praise all day.
