²⁵ Do not let them say in their heart, “O, just what we wanted!” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up!” ²⁶ Let all who are happy because of my trouble be ashamed and without honor. Let those who think they are better than I, be covered with shame and without honor.

²⁷ Let them call out for joy and be glad, who want to see the right thing done for me. Let them always say, “May the Lord be honored. He is pleased when all is going well for His servant.”
