A Prayer to Protect You from the Non-believers
[19] Do not let those gloat over me
who are my enemies without cause;
do not let those who hate me without reason
maliciously wink the eye.
[20] They do not speak peaceably,
but devise false accusations
against those who live quietly in the land.
[21] They sneer at me and say, “Aha! Aha!
With our own eyes we have seen it.”
[22] Lord, you have seen this; do not be silent.
Do not be far from me, Lord.
[23] Awake, and rise to my defense!
Contend for me, my God and Lord.
[24] Vindicate me in your righteousness, Lord my God;
do not let them gloat over me.
[25] Do not let them think, “Aha, just what we wanted!”
or say, “We have swallowed him up.”
[26] May all who gloat over my distress
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who exalt themselves over me
be clothed with shame and disgrace.
[27] May those who delight in my vindication
shout for joy and gladness;
may they always say, “The Lord be exalted,
who delights in the well-being of his servant.”
[28] My tongue will proclaim your righteousness,
your praises all day long.
