21. Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”
22. You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.
23. Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!
24. Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.
25. Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
26. Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
27. Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. Yes, let them say continually, “Yahweh be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
28. My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
