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 my treacherous enemies rejoice over my defeat. Don’t let those who hate me without cause gloat over my sorrow.

20 They don’t talk of peace; they plot against innocent people who mind their own business.

21 They shout, “Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we saw him do it!”

22 O LORD, you know all about this. Do not stay silent. Do not abandon me now, O Lord.

23 Wake up! Rise to my defense! Take up my case, my God and my Lord.
