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 Do not let my treacherous enemies gloat over me. Do not let those who hate me for no reason wink [at me].

20 They do not talk about peace. Instead, they scheme against the peaceful people in the land.

21 They open their big mouths and say about me, "Aha! Aha! Our own eyes have seen it."

22 You have seen it, O LORD. Do not remain silent. O Lord, do not be so far away from me.

23 Wake up, and rise to my defense. Plead my case, O my God and my Lord.
