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 them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies; Nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.

20 For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful matters Against the quiet ones in the land.

21 They also opened their mouth wide against me, And said, "Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it."

22 This You have seen, O Lord; Do not keep silence. O Lord, do not be far from me.

23 Stir up Yourself, and awake to my vindication, To my cause, my God and my Lord.
