Psalms:35:1 @
A Psalm of David .
Plead my cause ,
O LORD ,
with them that strive with me :
fight against them that fight against me .
*
Take hold of shield and buckler ,
and stand up for mine help .
*
Draw out also the spear ,
and stop the way against them that persecute me :
say unto my soul ,
I am thy salvation y @
shuw #
ah #.
*
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul :
let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt .
*
Let them be as chaff before the wind :
and let the angel of the LORD chase them .
*
Let their way be dark and slippery :
and let the angel of the LORD persecute them .
*
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit ,
which without cause they have digged for my soul .
*
Let destruction come upon him at unawares ;
and let his net that he hath hid catch himself :
into that very destruction let him fall .
*
And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD :
it shall rejoice in his salvation y @
shuw #
ah #.
*
All my bones shall say ,
LORD ,
who is like unto thee ,
which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him ,
yea ,
the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him ?
*
False witnesses did rise up ;
they laid to my charge things that I knew not .
*
They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul .
*
But as for me ,
when they were sick ,
my clothing was sackcloth :
I humbled my soul with fasting ;
and my prayer returned into mine own bosom .
*
I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother :
I bowed down heavily ,
as one that mourneth for his mother .
*
But in mine adversity they rejoiced ,
and gathered themselves together :
yea ,
the abjects gathered themselves together against me ,
and I knew it not ;
they did tear me ,
and ceased not :
*
With hypocritical mockers in feasts ma #
owg #,
they gnashed upon me with their teeth .
*
Lord ,
how long wilt thou look on ?
rescue my soul from their destructions ,
my darling from the lions .
*
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation :
I will praise thee among much people .
*
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me :
neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause .
*
For they speak not peace :
but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land .
*
Yea ,
they opened their mouth wide against me ,
and said ,
Aha ,
aha ,
our eye hath seen it .
*
This thou hast seen ,
O LORD :
keep not silence :
O Lord ,
be not far from me .
*
Stir up thyself ,
and awake to my judgment ,
even unto my cause ,
my God and my Lord .
*
Judge me ,
O LORD my God ,
according to thy righteousness ;
and let them not rejoice over me .
*
Let them not say in their hearts ,
Ah ,
so would we have it :
let them not say ,
We have swallowed him up .
*
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt :
let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me .
*
Let them shout for joy ,
and be glad ,
that favour my righteous cause :
yea ,
let them say continually ,
Let the LORD be magnified ,
which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant .
*
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long .
