Contextual Overview
17 Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, My precious life from the lions. 18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people. 19 Don't let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause. 20 For they don't speak peace, But they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land. 21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!" 22 You have seen it, Yahweh. Don't keep silent. Lord, don't be far from me. 23 Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me! 24 Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness; Don't let them gloat over me. 25 Don't let them say in their heart, "Aha! That's the way we want it." Don't let them say, "We have swallowed him up!" 26 Let them be put to shame and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me,.... In laughter, scorn, and derision; see Psalms 22:7;
[and] said, Aha, aha: a word expressive of joy; and the doubling it shows the greatness of it;
our eye hath seen [it]; what their heart wished for; namely, the distress of him, whose enemies they were.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me - See the notes at Psalms 22:13.
And said, Aha, aha! - See Psalms 40:15; Psalms 70:3. The language is that which we use when we “detect” another in doing wrong - in doing what he meant to conceal.
Our eye hath seen it - We are not dependent on the reports of others. We have seen it with our own eyes. We have found you out. We cannot be mistaken in regard to it. The reference is to some supposed “detection” of misconduct on the part of David, and the joy and triumph of such a supposed detection.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 35:21. They opened their mouth wide — Gaped upon me to express their contempt.
And said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.] They said, האח האח heach, heach, the last syllable in each word being a protracted strongly guttural sound, marking insult and triumph at the same time. It is the word which we translate Ah, Psalms 35:25.
