26 Let them be sham'd, & blush together, ‖ who of my hurt are glad; ‖ may they be cloath'd with shame, and blush, ‖ who look so big on me. ‖
27 Let them shout with triumphant joy, ‖ and be exceeding glad, ‖ whose favourable sentiments ‖ believe my righteousness. ‖ Yea, may they say continually, ‖ Let the ETERNAL God ‖ be magnified, who takes delight ‖ in His true Servants peace. ‖
28 And now my tongue shall dwell upon ‖ thy glorious Righteousness; ‖ My Tongue shall celebrate thy praise ‖ all day * and every day.
