From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me -Margin, “falsely.” Literally, “My enemies of falsehood;” that is, who are “falsely” my foes; who have no just cause for being opposed to me. CompareMatthew 5:11. David was conscious that he had done them no wrong, or that he had given no occasion for their conduct toward him, and hence, his prayer is simply a request that justice might be done. Neither let them wink with the eye -Compare the notes atJob 15:12. See alsoProverbs 6:13;Proverbs 10:10.
