Psalm 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.

Psalm 35:21 In-Context

19 Don't let my enemies, those liars, gloat over my defeat. Don't let those who hate me for no reason smirk with delight over my sorrow.

20 They do not speak in a friendly way; instead they invent all kinds of lies about peace-loving people.

21 They accuse me, shouting, "We saw what you did!"

22 But you, O Lord, have seen this. So don't be silent, Lord; don't keep yourself far away!

23 Rouse yourself, O Lord, and defend me; rise up, my God, and plead my cause.
