Psalms 35:19 — Meaning and Application

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. {darling: Heb. only one}

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. {much: Heb. strong}

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: {neither} let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. {wrongfully: Heb. falsely}

For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against {them that are} quiet in the land.

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, {and} said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen {it}.
