Psal LEB 35:20  For they do not speak peace, but against the quiet ones of the land they plan deceitful words.
Psal LEB 35:21  They also made wide their mouths against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eyes have seen it.”
Psal LEB 35:22  You have seen, O Yahweh. Do not be deaf. O Lord, do not be far from me.
Psal LEB 35:23  Wake up and rouse yourself for my right, for my cause, O my God and my Lord.
Psal LEB 35:24  Vindicate me according to your righteousness, O Yahweh my God, and do not let them rejoice over me.

Psal LEB 35:26  Let them be shamed and abashed altogether, who rejoice at my misfortune. Let them put on shame and insult, who magnify themselves against me.
Psal LEB 35:27  Let them shout for joy and be glad, who delight in my vindication; and let them say continually, “Yahweh is great, who delights in the welfare of his servant.”
Psal LEB 35:28  Then my tongue will proclaim your righteousness, and your praise all day.
