24Judge me by your righteousness, O LORD my God. Do not let them gloat over me 25or think, "Aha, just what we wanted!" Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up." 26Let those who gloat over my downfall be thoroughly put to shame and confused. Let those who promote themselves at my expense be clothed with shame and disgrace. 27Let those who are happy when I am declared innocent joyfully sing and rejoice. Let them continually say, "The LORD is great. He is happy when his servant has peace." 28Then my tongue will tell about your righteousness, about your praise all day long.
