Psalms 35
35:1

Plead7378 my cause, O Yahweh,3068 with them that strive3401 with me: fight3898 against them that fight3898 against me.

35:2

Take hold2388 of shield4043 and buckler,6793 and stand up6965 for mine help.5833

35:3

Draw out7324 also the spear,2595 and stop5462 the way against7125 them that persecute7291 me: say559 unto my soul,5315 I am thy salvation.3444

35:4

Let them be confounded954 and put to shame3637 that seek1245 after my soul:5315 let them be turned5472 back268 and brought to confusion2659 that devise2803 my hurt.7451

35:5

Let them be as chaff4671 before6440 the wind:7307 and let the angel4397 of Yahweh3068 chase1760 them.

35:6

Let their way1870 be dark2822 and slippery:2519 and let the angel4397 of Yahweh3068 persecute7291 them.

35:7

For without cause2600 have they hid2934 for me their net7568 in a pit,7845 which without cause2600 they have digged2658 for my soul.5315

35:8

Let destruction7722 come935 upon him at unawares;3045 and let his net7568 that he hath hid2934 catch3920 himself: into that very destruction7722 let him fall.5307

35:9

And my soul5315 shall be joyful1523 in Yahweh:3068 it shall rejoice7797 in his salvation.3444

35:10

All my bones6106 shall say,559 Yahweh,3068 who is like unto thee, which deliverest5337 the poor6041 from him that is too strong2389 for him, yea, the poor6041 and the needy34 from him that spoileth1497 him?

35:11

False2555 witnesses5707 did rise up;6965 they laid to my charge7592 things that I knew3045 not.

35:12

They rewarded7999 me evil7451 for good2896 to the spoiling7908 of my soul.5315

35:13

But as for me, when they were sick,2470 my clothing3830 was sackcloth:8242 I humbled6031 my soul5315 with fasting;6685 and my prayer8605 returned7725 into mine own bosom.2436

35:14

I behaved1980 myself as though he had been my friend7453 or brother:251 I bowed down7817 heavily,6937 as one that mourneth57 for his mother.517

35:15

But in mine adversity6761 they rejoiced,8055 and gathered622 themselves together: yea, the abjects5222 gathered622 themselves together against me, and I knew3045 it not; they did tear7167 me, and ceased1826 not:

35:16

With hypocritical2611 mockers3934 in feasts,4580 they gnashed2786 upon me with their teeth.8127

35:17

Yahweh,3068 how long wilt thou look on?7200 rescue7725 my soul5315 from their destructions,7722 my darling3173 from the lions.3715

35:18

I will give thee thanks3034 in the great7227 congregation:6951 I will praise1984 thee among much6099 people.5971

35:19

Let not them that are mine enemies341 wrongfully8267 rejoice8055 over me: neither let them wink7169 with the eye5869 that hate8130 me without a cause.2600

35:20

For they speak1696 not peace:7965 but they devise2803 deceitful4820 matters1697 against them that are quiet7282 in the land.776

35:21

Yea, they opened their mouth6310 wide7337 against me, and said,559 Aha,1889 aha,1889 our eye5869 hath seen7200 it.

35:22

This thou hast seen,7200 O Yahweh:3068 keep not silence:2790 O Yahweh,3068 be not far7368 from me.

35:23

Stir up5782 thyself, and awake6974 to my judgment,4941 even unto my cause,7379 my Elohim430 and my Sovereign.136

35:24

Judge8199 me, O Yahweh3068 my Elohim,430 according to thy righteousness;6664 and let them not rejoice8055 over me.

35:25

Let them not say559 in their hearts,3820 Ah,1889 so would we have it:5315 let them not say,559 We have swallowed him up.1104

35:26

Let them be ashamed954 and brought to confusion2659 together3162 that rejoice8056 at mine hurt:7451 let them be clothed3847 with shame1322 and dishonour3639 that magnify1431 themselves against me.

35:27

Let them shout for joy,7442 and be glad,8055 that favour2655 my righteous cause:6664 yea, let them say559 continually,8548 Let Yahweh3068 be magnified,1431 which hath pleasure2655 in the prosperity7965 of his servant.5650

35:28

And my tongue3956 shall speak1897 of thy righteousness6664 and of thy praise8416 all the day3117 long.
