24Declare me not guilty, O Lord my God, for you give justice.

Don’t let my enemies laugh about me in my troubles.

25Don’t let them say, “Look, we got what we wanted!

Now we will eat him alive!”

26May those who rejoice at my troubles

be humiliated and disgraced.

May those who triumph over me

be covered with shame and dishonor.

27But give great joy to those who came to my defense.

Let them continually say, “Great is the Lord,

who delights in blessing his servant with peace!”

28Then I will proclaim your justice,

and I will praise you all day long.
