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.

Psalm 35:21 In-Context

19 Do not let my haters be glad over me falsely; let not those who are against me without cause make sport of me.

20 For they do not say words of peace; in their deceit they are designing evil things against the quiet ones in the land.

21 Their mouths were open wide against me, and they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.

22 You have seen this, O Lord; be not unmoved: O Lord, be not far from me.

23 Be awake, O Lord, be moved to take up my cause, my God and my Lord.
