Psa 35:1 A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, contend with those who strive against me; fight those who fight against me.
\nPsa 35:2 Take hold of a shield and buckler, and arise as my help.
\nPsa 35:3 Draw out the spear and close ranks to meet my pursuers; say to my soul, I am your salvation.
\nPsa 35:4 Let those who seek my soul be ashamed and disgraced; let them be turned back and brought to confusion, those who plot evil to me.
\nPsa 35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and the Angel of Jehovah driving away.
\nPsa 35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and the Angel of Jehovah their pursuer.
\nPsa 35:7 For they have hidden their pit-net for me without cause; without cause they have dug for my soul.
\nPsa 35:8 Let destruction come on him; he will not know; and let his net which he concealed catch him; let him fall in it, into destruction.
\nPsa 35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah; it will rejoice in His salvation.
\nPsa 35:10 All my bones shall say: O Jehovah, who is like You, who delivers the poor from those stronger than he; yes, the poor and needy from his plunderer?
\nPsa 35:11 Witnesses of violence rise up; they asked me what I did not know;
\nPsa 35:12 they rewarded me evil for good, bereaving my soul.
\nPsa 35:13 But in their sickness, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fastings; and my prayer returned to my bosom.
\nPsa 35:14 I walked as a friend, as to my brother; as one who mourns a mother, I was bowed down mourning.
\nPsa 35:15 But they rejoiced in my limping; and assembling the defamers assembled themselves against me; and I did not know; they tore and were not silent;
\nPsa 35:16 with the ungodly they were mockers for a cake, gnashing their teeth on me.
\nPsa 35:17 O Lord, how long will You look on? Draw back my soul from their desolations, my only one from the lions.
\nPsa 35:18 I will thank You in the great assembly, and I will praise You among a mighty people.
\nPsa 35:19 Let not my lying enemies rejoice over me; do not let those who hate me without cause wink the eye.
\nPsa 35:20 For they do not speak peace; but they devise deceitful things against the quiet ones of the earth.
\nPsa 35:21 And they open their mouth wide against me; they say, Aha! Aha! Our eyes have seen.
\nPsa 35:22 You have seen, O Jehovah; do not keep silence, O Lord, do not be far from me.
\nPsa 35:23 Stir Yourself and awaken to my judgment, to my cause, my God and my Lord.
\nPsa 35:24 Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to Your righteousness; and do not let them rejoice over me.
\nPsa 35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Aha! Our soul! Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
\nPsa 35:26 Let them be ashamed and be confounded together, the ones who rejoice at my evil; let them be clothed with shame and dishonor, the ones who magnify themselves against me.
\nPsa 35:27 Let those who delight in my justification shout and rejoice; and they shall say without ceasing, Jehovah be magnified, delighting in the peace of His servant.
\nPsa 35:28 And my tongue will speak of Your righteousness and of Your praise all the day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
