20 They do not talk about peace.Instead, they scheme against the peaceful people in the land.
21 They open their big mouths and say about me,“Aha! Aha! Our own eyes have seen it.”
22 You have seen it, O Lord.Do not remain silent.O Lord, do not be so far away from me.
23 Wake up, and rise to my defense.Plead my case, O my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me by your righteousness, O Lord my God.Do not let them gloat over me
25 or think, “Aha, just what we wanted!”Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up.”
26 Let those who gloat over my downfallbe thoroughly put to shame and confused.Let those who promote themselves at my expensebe clothed with shame and disgrace.
