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 them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

20 For they speak not peace, but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

21 Yea, they opened their mouths wide against me and said, "Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it."

22 This Thou hast seen, O LORD; keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.

23 Stir up Thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
