Psalms 35:21

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 Don't let these liars, my enemies, have a party at my expense, Those who hate me for no reason, winking and rolling their eyes.

20 No good is going to come from that crowd; They spend all their time cooking up gossip against those who mind their own business.

21 They open their mouths in ugly grins, Mocking, "Ha-ha, ha-ha, thought you'd get away with it? We've caught you hands down!"

22 Don't you see what they're doing, God? You're not going to let them Get by with it, are you? Not going to walk off without doing something, are you?

23 Please get up - wake up! Tend to my case. My God, my Lord - my life is on the line.
