Contextual Overview
17 But all you do is watch! When will you do something? Save me from the attack of those vicious lions. 18 And when your people meet, I will praise you and thank you, Lord, in front of them all. 19 Don't let my brutal enemies be glad because of me. They hate me for no reason. Don't let them wink behind my back. 20 They say hurtful things, and they lie to people who want to live in peace. 21 They are quick to accuse me. They say, "You did it! We saw you ourselves." 22 You see everything, Lord ! Please don't keep silent or stay so far away. 23 Fight to defend me, Lord God, 24 and prove that I am right by your standards. Don't let them laugh at me 25 or say to each other, "Now we've got what we want! We'll gobble him down!" 26 Disappoint and confuse all who are glad to see me in trouble, but disgrace and embarrass my proud enemies who say to me, "You are nothing!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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 Psalms 27:12;
let them not say, we have swallowed him up; as roaring lions swallow down their prey, to which he had compared them, Psalms 35:17; and as wicked men eat up the Lord's people as they eat bread, Psalms 14:4.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Let them not say in their hearts - Let them not congratulate themselves on the result; let them not feel that they have triumphed; let them not, under thy government, come off victorious in doing wrong.
Ah, so would we have it - Margin, as in Hebrew, âAh, our soul.â That is, It is just as we thought it was; just as we desired it should be; that is exactly our mind in the case. God has permitted us to triumph, and he has showed that we are right in the matter. He has decided the thing in our favor, and it is just as it should be.
Let them not say, We have swallowed him up - See the notes at Psalms 21:9. The meaning is, We have entirely destroyed him - as Korah, Dathan, and Abiram were destroyed by being swallowed up in the earth, Numbers 16:31-35. Compare Lamentations 2:16.
