Contextual Overview
17LORD, how long will You look on [without action]? Rescue my life from their destructions, My only life from the young lions. 18I will give You thanks in the great congregation; I will praise You among a mighty people. 19Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; Nor let those who hate me without cause wink their eye [maliciously]. 20For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful words [half-truths and lies] against those who are quiet in the land. 21They open their mouths wide against me; They say, "Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!" 22You have seen this, O LORD; do not keep silent. O Lord, do not be far from me. 23Wake Yourself up, and arise to my right And to my cause, my God and my Lord. 24Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Your righteousness and justice; And do not let them rejoice over me. 25Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha, that is what we wanted!" Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up and destroyed him."26Let those be ashamed and humiliated together who rejoice at my distress; Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.

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.
