Psalm 35:25 (WEB)
Context Reading
23Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God!My Lord, contend for me! 24Vindicate me, Yahweh 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!” 26Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity.Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me. 27Let those who favor my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad.Yes, let them say continually, “May Yahweh be magnified,who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
