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 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

20 For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.

21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

22 Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; Keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

23 Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice [due] unto me, [Even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
