Psalms 35:21 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 35:21

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me
In laughter, scorn, and derision; see ( Psalms 22:7 Psalms 22:8 ) ;

[and] said, Aha, aha:
a word expressive of joy; and the doubling it shows the greatness of it;

our eye hath seen [it];
what their heart wished for; namely, the distress of him, whose enemies they were.

Psalms 35:21 In-Context

19 Don't let those who are my enemies without any reason laugh at me and make fun of me. Don't let those who hate me without any reason wink at me with an evil purpose.

20 They don't speak words of peace. They make up false charges against those who live quietly in the land.

21 They open their mouths wide at me. They make fun of me. They say, "With our own eyes we have seen what you did."

22 Lord, you have seen this. Don't be silent. Lord, don't be far away from me.

23 Wake up! Rise up to help me! My God and Lord, stand up for me.
