21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
21 They sneer at me and say, "Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we have seen it."
21 They open wide their mouths against me; they say, "Aha, Aha! Our eyes have seen it!"
21 They open their mouths in ugly grins, Mocking, "Ha-ha, ha-ha, thought you'd get away with it? We've caught you hands down!"
21 They also opened their mouth wide against me, And said, "Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it."
21 They shout, "Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we saw him do it!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 35:21
Commentary on Psalm 35:17-28
(Read Psalm 35:17-28)
Though the people of God are, and study to be, quiet, yet it has been common for their enemies to devise deceitful matters against them. David prays, My soul is in danger, Lord, rescue it; it belongs to thee the Father of spirits, therefore claim thine own; it is thine, save it! Lord, be not far from me, as if I were a stranger. He who exalted the once suffering Redeemer, will appear for all his people: the roaring lion shall not destroy their souls, any more than he could that of Christ, their Surety. They trust their souls in his hands, they are one with him by faith, are precious in his sight, and shall be rescued from destruction, that they may give thanks in heaven.
