“Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.”
The psalmist appeals that those who hate him without reason might not rejoice over him or wink at each other in triumph. The phrase 'without reason' reiterates that the psalmist has given no justification for the enmity. The request that the enemies not wink at each other suggests the psalmist seeks to prevent the satisfaction and collusion of those who work together toward his harm. This verse demonstrates that the psalmist's concern is not merely for his own vindication but for the prevention of the enemies' triumph.
