26 May all who gloat over my distress
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who exalt themselves over me
be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27 May those who delight in my vindication
shout for joy and gladness;
may they always say, “The Lord be exalted,
who delights in the well-being of his servant.”

your praises all day long.
I am surprised as this passage spoke to me! What i found was surprising! Every time we ignore some on in distress this is what happens! Imagine them saying "May all who gloat over my distress". When we ignore such people we may not be gloating but the question remains that if we do not extend our arms to help, how can be say we are not gloating? If we really want to stand before God, and account, if God asks us why did we not help, how can we answer? The answer remains that those who did not help are to be put to shame and confusion. See the next sentence: May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness! Those who stand for the righteous and the people who needs help, let them proclaim God's glory! The passage did not say that these people are exalted, but rather doing what they are ought to do! Notice this: the people who gloat get punished. The people who help may they always say that. You see the difference? The day we are Christians we are ought to do it, that is our responsibility. Its just like a father to a son. A father has responsibilities to the son and when the son matures he also have a responsibility to his parent!
Its our job to be righteous! And let us proclaim his righteousness all day long! :D
