Psalm 35:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ Wake up! Rise up to help me!
    My God and Lord, stand up for me.
²⁴ Lord my God, when you hand down your sentence, let it be in my favor.
    You always do what is right.
    Don’t let my enemies have the joy of seeing me fall.
²⁵ Don’t let them think, “That’s exactly what we wanted!”
    Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up.”
