Psalm 35:17–28

17 Lord, ahow long will You look on?

Rescue my soul bfrom their ravages,

My conly life from the lions.

18 I will agive You thanks in the great congregation;

I will bpraise You among a mighty throng.

19 aDo not let those who are wrongfully bmy enemies rejoice over me;

Nor let those cwho hate me without cause 1dwink maliciously.

20 For they do not speak peace,

But they devise adeceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

21 They aopened their mouth wide against me;

They said, “bAha, aha, our eyes have seen it!”

22 aYou have seen it, O Lord, bdo not keep silent;

O Lord, cdo not be far from me.

23 aStir up Yourself, and awake to my right

And to my cause, my God and my Lord.

24 aJudge me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness,

And bdo not let them rejoice over me.

25 Do not let them say in their heart, “aAha, our desire!”

Do not let them say, “We have bswallowed him up!”

26 Let athose be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress;

Let those be bclothed with shame and dishonor who cmagnify themselves over me.

27 Let them ashout for joy and rejoice, who favor bmy vindication;

And clet them say continually, “The Lord be magnified,

Who ddelights in the prosperity of His servant.”

28 And amy tongue shall declare Your righteousness

And Your praise all day long.
