Psalm 35:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ Lord my God, ·defend [vindicate] me with your justice.
    Don’t let them ·laugh at [rejoice over] me.
²⁵ Don’t let them ·think [^Lsay in their hearts], “Aha! We got what we wanted!”
    Don’t let them say, “We ·destroyed [^Lswallowed] him.”
²⁶ Let them be ashamed and ·embarrassed [humiliated],
    because they ·were happy [rejoiced] when I hurt.
·Cover [^LClothe] them with shame and disgrace,
    because they thought they were better than I was.
