Psalm 35:19-28

English Standard Version

¹⁹^(A)Let not those rejoice over me
    who are ^(B)wrongfully my foes,
and let not those ^(C)wink the eye
    who ^(D)hate me ^(E)without cause.
²⁰For they do not speak peace,
    but against those who are quiet in the land
    they devise words of deceit.
²¹They ^(F)open wide their mouths against me;
    they say, ^(G)“Aha, Aha!
    Our eyes have seen it!”

²²^(H)You have seen, O Lord; ^(I)be not silent!
    O Lord, ^(J)be not far from me!
²³Awake and ^(K)rouse yourself for ^(L)my vindication,
    for my cause, my God and my Lord!
²⁴^(M)Vindicate me, O Lord, my God,
    according to your righteousness,
    and ^(N)let them not rejoice over me!
²⁵Let them not say in their hearts,
    ^(O)“Aha, our heart's desire!”
Let them not say, ^(P)“We have swallowed him up.”

²⁶Let them be ^(Q)put to shame and disappointed altogether
who rejoice at my calamity!
Let them be ^(R)clothed with shame and dishonor
who ^(S)magnify themselves against me!

²⁷Let those who delight in my righteousness
    shout for joy and be glad
    ^(T)and say evermore,
^(U)“Great is the Lord,
    who ^(V)delights in the welfare of his servant!”
²⁸Then my ^(W)tongue shall tell of your righteousness
    and of your praise all the day long.
