your enemy falls

"something bad happens to your enemy"

let not your heart be glad

This is a strong command. The word "heart" represents the person. AT: "do not allow yourself to be glad" or "stop yourself from being glad" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)

turn away his wrath from him
