Psalm 35:21

Verse 21 of 28. The 35th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.

17Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.

18I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.

19Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

20For they don’t speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

21Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”

22You have seen it, LORD. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.

23Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!

24Vindicate me, LORD my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.

25Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
