19Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause,
nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
20For they do not speak peace,
but they devise deceitful schemes
against those who live quietly in the land.
21They gape at me and say,
“Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
22O LORD, You have seen it; be not silent.
O Lord, be not far from me.
23Awake and rise to my defense,
to my cause, my God and my Lord!
24Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God,
and do not let them gloat over me.
25Let them not say in their hearts,
“Aha, just what we wanted!”
Let them not say,
“We have swallowed him up!”
— Psalm 35:19-25
