Psalms 35:18-28

18 I will 1give You thanks in the great congregation; I will 2praise You among a mighty throng.
19 3Do not let those who are wrongfully 4my enemies rejoice over me; Nor let those 5who hate me without cause 6wink maliciously *.
20 For they do not speak peace, But they devise 7deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
21 They 8opened their mouth wide against me; They said, "9Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!"
22 10You have seen it, O LORD, 11do not keep silent; O Lord, 12do not be far from me.
23 13Stir up Yourself, and awake to my right And to my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 14Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Your righteousness, And 15do not let them rejoice over me.
25 Do not let them say in their heart, "16Aha, our desire!" Do not let them say, "We have 17swallowed him up!"
26 Let 18those be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress; Let those be 19clothed with shame and dishonor who 20magnify themselves over me.
27 Let them 21shout for joy and rejoice, who favor 22my vindication; And 23let them say continually, "The LORD be magnified, Who 24delights in the prosperity of His servant."
28 And 25my tongue shall declare Your righteousness And Your praise all day long.
