19 (A)Do not let those who are wrongfully (B)my enemies rejoice over me;
Nor let those (C)who hate me for no reason [a](D)wink maliciously.
20 For they do not speak peace,
But they devise (E)deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
21 They (F)opened their mouth wide against me;
They said, “(G)Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it!”

22 (H)You have seen it, Lord, (I)do not keep silent;
Lord, (J)do not be far from me.
23 (K)Stir Yourself, and awake to my right
And to my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 (L)Judge me, Lord my God, according to Your righteousness,
And (M)do not let them rejoice over me.
25 Do not let them say in their heart, “(N)Aha, our desire!”
Do not let them say, “We have (O)swallowed him up!”
26 May (P)those be ashamed and altogether humiliated who rejoice at my distress;
May those who (Q)exalt themselves over me be (R)clothed with shame and dishonor.
