Contextual Overview
17 My Lord! how long wilt thou look on? Bring back my soul out of their raging, from among lions, my solitary self. 18 I will thank thee, in the midst of a great convocation, - In the midst of a mighty people, will I praise thee. 19 Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye! 20 For, no salvation, will they utter, - But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise; 21 Yea they have opened wide against me their mouth, They have said, Aha! Aha! our own eye, hath seen! 22 Thou hast seen, O Yahweh, do not keep silence! O My Lord! be not far from me: 23 Bestir thyself and wake up, to my vindication, O my God and My Lord! - to my plea: 24 Vindicate me according to thy righteousness, O Yahweh, my God! And let them not rejoice over me: 25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha! to our mind! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up! 26 Let them turn pale, and then at once blush, who are rejoicing at my misfortune, - Let them be clothed with shame and confusion, who are magnifying themselves against me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
[This] thou hast seen, O Lord,.... The insults and derisions of these men, and the injuries they did to him, whom they hated. God is omniscient, and sees all things, all the evil wicked men do to him; and he will requite them in his own time; see Psalms 10:14;
keep not silence; meaning at his prayers; that he would not be as one deaf and dumb, turning his ears from his cries, and giving no answer to his requests; see Psalms 28:1;
O Lord, be not far from me; meaning not as to his general presence, in which sense he is not far from any, Acts 17:7; but with respect to his gracious presence and appearance to him for help and deliverance; see
Psalms 22:1.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This thou hast seen, O Lord - Thou hast seen what they have done, as they profess to have seen what I have done Psalms 35:21. Thine eye has been upon all their movements, as they say that theirs has been upon mine. Compare the notes at Psalms 35:17.
Keep not silence - That is, Speak; rebuke them; punish them. God seemed to look on with unconcern. As we express it, he “said nothing.” He appeared to pay no attention to what was done, but suffered them to do as they pleased without interposing to rebuke or check them. Compare the notes at Psalms 28:1.
O Lord, be not far from me - Compare the notes at Psalms 10:1.
