Psalms [Praises] 35:19-23

¹⁹Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

²⁰For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

²¹Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”

²²You have seen it, Adonai . Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.

²³Wake up! Rise up to my mishpat ·justice· me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!
