Psalms 35:20-27

²⁰For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those in our land who live in peace.

²¹They open their mouths wide against me; they said, “Aha, Aha, our eyes have seen it.”

²²You have seen it, Yahweh, do not be silent; Lord, do not be far from me.

²³Arouse yourself and awake to my defense; My God and my Lord, defend my cause.

²⁴Defend me, Yahweh my God, because of your righteousness; do not let them rejoice over me.

²⁵Do not let them say in their heart, “Aha, we have what we wanted.” Do not let them say, “We have devoured him.”

²⁶May they be put to shame and may they be confounded who rejoice at my distress. May those who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and dishonor.

²⁷Let those who desire my vindication shout for joy and be glad; may they say continually, “Yahweh be praised, he who delights in the welfare of his servant.”
