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 my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.

20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.

21 They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”

22 O LORD, You have seen it; be not silent. O Lord, be not far from me.

23 Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!
