Psalm 35:19-21
EasyEnglish Bible
19 My enemies tell lies about me.
Do not let them win against me,
and be happy.
They have no reason to hate me,
so do not let them laugh at me.
20 They do not talk in a way that brings peace.
Instead, they try to deceive people who want to live quietly.
21 They open their mouths wide
to speak against me.
They say, ‘Aha![a]
We have seen the bad things that you do!’
Footnotes
- 35:21 ‘Aha’ shows that they are laughing at David. They think that they are better than he is.

maliciously wink the eye.(C)

but devise false accusations(D)
against those who live quietly in the land.

With our own eyes we have seen it.”
