# Chapter 35
|
|
1. Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me;
|
|
Fight against those who fight against me.
|
|
|
|
2. Take hold of shield and buckler,
|
|
And stand up for my help.
|
|
|
|
3. Also draw out the spear,
|
|
And stop those who pursue me.
|
|
Say to my soul,
|
|
"I am your salvation."
|
|
|
|
4. Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor
|
|
Who seek after my life;
|
|
Let those be turned back and brought to confusion
|
|
Who plot my hurt.
|
|
|
|
5. Let them be like chaff before the wind,
|
|
And let the angel of the Lord chase them.
|
|
|
|
6. Let their way be dark and slippery,
|
|
And let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
|
|
|
|
7. For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit,
|
|
Which they have dug without cause for my life.
|
|
|
|
8. Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly,
|
|
And let his net that he has hidden catch himself;
|
|
Into that very destruction let him fall.
|
|
|
|
9. And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord;
|
|
It shall rejoice in His salvation.
|
|
|
|
10. All my bones shall say,
|
|
"Lord, who is like You,
|
|
Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him,
|
|
Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?"
|
|
|
|
11. Fierce witnesses rise up;
|
|
They ask me things that I do not know.
|
|
|
|
12. They reward me evil for good,
|
|
To the sorrow of my soul.
|
|
|
|
13. But as for me, when they were sick,
|
|
My clothing was sackcloth;
|
|
I humbled myself with fasting;
|
|
And my prayer would return to my own heart.
|
|
|
|
14. I paced about as though he were my friend or brother;
|
|
I bowed down heavily, as one who mourns for his mother.
|
|
|
|
15. But in my adversity they rejoiced
|
|
And gathered together;
|
|
Attackers gathered against me,
|
|
And I did not know it;
|
|
They tore at me and did not cease;
|
|
|
|
16. With ungodly mockers at feasts
|
|
They gnashed at me with their teeth.
|
|
|
|
17. Lord, how long will You look on?
|
|
Rescue me from their destructions,
|
|
My precious life from the lions.
|
|
|
|
18. I will give You thanks in the great assembly;
|
|
I will praise You among many people.
|
|
|
|
19. Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies;
|
|
Nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.
|
|
|
|
20. For they do not speak peace,
|
|
But they devise deceitful matters
|
|
Against the quiet ones in the land.
|
|
|
|
21. They also opened their mouth wide against me,
|
|
And said, "Aha, aha!
|
|
Our eyes have seen it."
|
|
|
|
22. This You have seen, O Lord;
|
|
Do not keep silence.
|
|
O Lord, do not be far from me.
|
|
|
|
23. Stir up Yourself, and awake to my vindication,
|
|
To my cause, my God and my Lord.
|
|
|
|
24. Vindicate me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness;
|
|
And let them not rejoice over me.
|
|
|
|
25. Let them not say in their hearts, "Ah, so we would have it!"
|
|
Let them not say, "We have swallowed him up."
|
|
|
|
26. Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
|
|
Who rejoice at my hurt;
|
|
Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor
|
|
Who exalt themselves against me.
|
|
|
|
27. Let them shout for joy and be glad,
|
|
Who favor my righteous cause;
|
|
And let them say continually,
|
|
"Let the Lord be magnified,
|
|
Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant."
|
|
|
|
28. And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness
|
|
And of Your praise all the day long.
