| 35:1 |
Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!
|
| 35:2 |
Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise up to help me!
|
| 35:3 |
Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul, "I am your salvation."
|
| 35:4 |
Let them be put to shame and dishonor who seek after my life. Let them be turned back and confounded who devise evil against me.
|
| 35:5 |
Let them be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them on.
|
| 35:6 |
Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
|
| 35:7 |
For without cause they hid their net for me; without cause they dug a pit for my life.
|
| 35:8 |
Let ruin come on them unawares. And let the net that they hid ensnare them; let them fall in it-- to their ruin.
|
| 35:9 |
Then my soul shall rejoice in the LORD, exulting in his deliverance.
|
| 35:10 |
All my bones shall say, "O LORD, who is like you? You deliver the weak from those too strong for them, the weak and needy from those who despoil them."
|
| 35:11 |
Malicious witnesses rise up; they ask me about things I do not know.
|
| 35:12 |
They repay me evil for good; my soul is forlorn.
|
| 35:13 |
But as for me, when they were sick, I wore sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting. I prayed with head bowed on my bosom,
|
| 35:14 |
as though I grieved for a friend or a brother; I went about as one who laments for a mother, bowed down and in mourning.
|
| 35:15 |
But at my stumbling they gathered in glee, they gathered together against me; ruffians whom I did not know tore at me without ceasing;
|
| 35:16 |
they impiously mocked more and more, gnashing at me with their teeth.
|
| 35:17 |
How long, O LORD, will you look on? Rescue me from their ravages, my life from the lions!
|
| 35:18 |
Then I will thank you in the great congregation; in the mighty throng I will praise you.
|
| 35:19 |
Do not let my treacherous enemies rejoice over me, or those who hate me without cause wink the eye.
|
| 35:20 |
For they do not speak peace, but they conceive deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
|
| 35:21 |
They open wide their mouths against me; they say, "Aha, Aha, our eyes have seen it."
|
| 35:22 |
You have seen, O LORD; do not be silent! O Lord, do not be far from me!
|
| 35:23 |
Wake up! Bestir yourself for my defense, for my cause, my God and my Lord!
|
| 35:24 |
Vindicate me, O LORD, my God, according to your righteousness, and do not let them rejoice over me.
|
| 35:25 |
Do not let them say to themselves, "Aha, we have our heart's desire." Do not let them say, "We have swallowed you up."
|
| 35:26 |
Let all those who rejoice at my calamity be put to shame and confusion; let those who exalt themselves against me be clothed with shame and dishonor.
|
| 35:27 |
Let those who desire my vindication shout for joy and be glad, and say evermore, "Great is the LORD, who delights in the welfare of his servant."
|
| 35:28 |
Then my tongue shall tell of your righteousness and of your praise all day long.
