21 Yes, they open their mouth wide against me, saying: “Aha! Aha! Our own eyes have seen it!”
22 You have seen it, Adonai—be not silent! Adonai, be not far from me.
23 Arise, awaken to my defense, to my cause—my God and my Lord!
24 Vindicate me, Adonai my God, according to Your justice, and do not let them gloat over me.
25 Don’t let them say in their heart: “Aha! Just what we wanted!” Don’t let them say: “We swallowed him up!”
26 May they be ashamed and humiliated, those who rejoice over my misery. May they who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27 May they shout for joy and be glad, those who delight in my righteous cause. May they always say: “Exalted be Adonai, who delights in His servant’s shalom.”
