Psalms 35:25

Let them not say in their hearts, ah, so would we have it ,.... Or we have what our souls wished for and desired: the sense of the petition is the same with Psalm 27:12 ;

let them not say, we have swallowed him up ; as roaring lions swallow down their prey, to which he had compared them, Psalm 35:17 ; and as wicked men eat up the Lord's people as they eat bread, Psalm 14:4 .
