Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha! That's the way we want it!" Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up!"
KJV
Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

Commentary
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
Psa 27:12
;
let them not say, we have swallowed him up; as roaring lions swallow down their prey, to which he had compared them,
Psa 35:17
; and as wicked men eat up the Lord's people as they eat bread,
Psa 14:4
.
