Let them not say, Ah! so would we have it Hebrew, Aha, our soul; an expression of mirth, as before, Psalms 35:21, or, Aha, we have our wish, or desire. We have swallowed him up David is now as low as we could wish him. Let them be brought to confusion together As they gathered themselves together to deride and reproach me, so do thou gather them together to confound them; or, as יחדו, jachdav, may be rendered, in like manner, that is, one as well as another. Let the proud and great ones of them be disappointed and ashamed, as well as the meanest among them. That magnify themselves against me That extol themselves, and their power, and look upon me with scorn and contempt. Let them be glad that favour my righteous cause That wish well to it, although they want either strength or courage to plead it. Let them say, Let the Lord be magnified That is, exalted and praised for his righteousness, truth, and goodness, manifested in my deliverance. The great design of my enemies is to magnify themselves, Psalms 35:26, but my chief desire is that God should be magnified.
