21 They speak out against me,saying, "Yes! Oh, yes! We’ve seen it with our own eyes!"
22 But you’ve seen it too, Lord.Don’t keep quiet about it.Please don’t be far from me, my Lord.
23 Wake up! Get up and do justice for me;argue my case, my Lord and my God!
24 Establish justice for meaccording to your righteousness, Lord, my God.Don’t let them celebrate over me.
25 Don’t let them say to themselves,Yes! Exactly what we wanted!Don’t let them say, "We ate him up!"
26 Let all those who celebrate my misfortune be disgraced and put to shame!Let those who exalt themselves over mebe dressed up in shame and dishonor!
27 But let those who want things to be set right for meshout for joy and celebrate!Let them constantly say, "The Lord is great—God wants his servant to be at peace."
