LORD, you have seen this; do not be silent. Do not be far from me, Lord. Awake and rise to my defense; contend for me, my God and Lord. Vindicate me in your righteousness, LORD my God; do not let them gloat over me. Do not let them think, "Aha! Just what we wanted!" or say, "We have swallowed him up."
