2-21-08 Psalm 36:26 You Will Be Vindicated!

Psalm 35: 26 (NAS)
Let those be ashamed and humiliated altogether who rejoice at my distress; Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.

Psalm 35: 26 (NLT)
May those who rejoice at my troubles be humiliated and disgraced. May those who triumph over me be covered with shame and dishonor.

Sometimes men, from the wickedness within their hearts, will speak slander and lies against you. They may never have met you, and yet they have an opinion of you. However, if that opinion differs from the one that the Lord God has of you, then you should disregard it.

If you stand by and wait, you may sooner or later see them put to shame. They will be disappointed and disconcerted. They will be confounded and embarrassed. They will not find that for which they were digging. No matter how they search they will not be able to find anything to continue to hold against you.

Those who come against you will be united together in their confusion. Although now they rejoice when they see you being hurt with wickedness and evil, soon they will be clothed in shame. If they make merry when they see you injured or hurt, you should know that they soon will be disgraced and dishonored. The insults and reproaches they heap on you will come back around to them. They will blush in humiliation.

Your opponents may try to promote themselves, hoping to look important and magnificent, but rest assured that the truth will be revealed. And you will be vindicated.
