Psalm 35:23-28

23 Despierta y levántate para mi defensa y para mi causa, Dios mío y Señor mío.

24 Júzgame conforme a tu justicia, oh SEÑOR, Dios mío; que no se rían de mí.

25 Que no digan en su corazón: ¡Ajá, lo que queríamos! Que no digan: ¡Lo hemos devorado!

26 Sean avergonzados y humillados a una los que se alegran de mi mal; cúbranse de verguenza y deshonra los que se engrandecen contra mí.

27 Canten de júbilo y regocíjense los que favorecen mi vindicación; y digan continuamente: Engrandecido sea el SEÑOR, que se deleita en la paz de su siervo.

28 Y mi lengua hablará de tu justicia y de tu alabanza todo el día.

Psalm 35:23-28 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 35

\\<<[A Psalm] of David>>\\. This psalm seems to have been written by David, when he was persecuted by Saul; and when many false charges were brought against him by his courtiers; and when he was the scorn and derision of the people; the subject of it is pretty much of the same kind with the seventh psalm, and might be written about the same time that was, and on the same occasion; and it may be applied to the church and people of God in like cases. There is a passage in it, Ps 35:19, which our Lord seems to refer to and apply to himself, Joh 15:25; and some interpret the whole of it concerning him. The Arabic version calls it a prophecy of the incarnation; though there does not appear any thing in it applicable to that.
