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

26 Let them be (J)put to shame and disappointed altogether
    who rejoice at my calamity!
Let them be (K)clothed with shame and dishonor
    who (L)magnify themselves against me!

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

22 Lord, you have seen(A) this; do not be silent.
    Do not be far(B) from me, Lord.
23 Awake,(C) and rise(D) to my defense!
    Contend(E) for me, my God and Lord.
24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, Lord my God;
    do not let them gloat(F) over me.
25 Do not let them think, “Aha,(G) just what we wanted!”
    or say, “We have swallowed him up.”(H)

26 May all who gloat(I) over my distress(J)
    be put to shame(K) and confusion;
may all who exalt themselves over me(L)
    be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27 May those who delight in my vindication(M)
    shout for joy(N) and gladness;
may they always say, “The Lord be exalted,
    who delights(O) in the well-being of his servant.”(P)

28 My tongue will proclaim your righteousness,(Q)
    your praises all day long.(R)
