Psalms 35:17 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 OF DAVID.Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!
2 Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help!
3 Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers! Say to my soul, "I am your salvation!"
4 Let them be put to shame and dishonor who seek after my life! Let them be turned back and disappointed who devise evil against me!
5 Let them be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them away!
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them!
7 For without cause they hid their net for me; without cause they dug a pit for my life.
8 Let destruction come upon him when he does not know it! And let the net that he hid ensnare him; let him fall into it- to his destruction!
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD, exulting in his salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, "O LORD, who is like you, delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, the poor and needy from him who robs him?"
11 Malicious witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I do not know.
12 They repay me evil for good; my soul is bereft.
13 But I, when they were sick- I wore sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting; I prayed with head bowed on my chest.
14 I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother; as one who laments his mother, I bowed down in mourning.
15 But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered; they gathered together against me; wretches whom I did not know tore at me without ceasing;
16 like profane mockers at a feast, they gnash at me with their teeth.
17 How long, O Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their destruction, my precious life from the lions!
18 I will thank you in the great congregation; in the mighty throng I will praise you.
19 Let not those rejoice over me who are wrongfully my foes, and let not those wink the eye who hate me without cause.
20 For they do not speak peace, but against those who are quiet in the land they devise words of deceit.
21 They open wide their mouths against me; they say, "Aha, Aha! our eyes have seen it!"
22 You have seen, O LORD; be not silent! O Lord, be not far from me!
23 Awake and rouse yourself for my vindication, for 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, "Aha, our heart's desire!" Let them not say, "We have swallowed him up."
26 Let them be put to shame and disappointed altogether who rejoice at my calamity! Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me!
27 Let those who delight in my righteousness shout for joy and be glad and say evermore, "Great is the LORD, who delights in the welfare of his servant!"
28 Then my tongue shall tell of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long.
1 A Psalm of David. H1732 Plead H7378 my cause , O LORD, H3068 with H854 them that strive H3401 with me : fight against H3898 H853 them that fight against H3898 me.
2 Take hold H2388 of shield H4043 and buckler, H6793 and stand up H6965 for mine help. H5833
3 Draw out H7324 also the spear, H2595 and stop H5462 the way against H7125 them that persecute H7291 me: say H559 unto my soul, H5315 I H589 am thy salvation. H3444
4 Let them be confounded H954 and put to shame H3637 that seek after H1245 my soul: H5315 let them be turned H5472 back H268 and brought to confusion H2659 that devise H2803 my hurt. H7451
5 Let them be H1961 as chaff H4671 before H6440 the wind: H7307 and let the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 chase H1760 them .
6 Let their way H1870 be H1961 dark H2822 and slippery: H2519 and let the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 persecute H7291 them.
7 For H3588 without cause H2600 have they hid H2934 for me their net H7568 in a pit, H7845 which without cause H2600 they have digged H2658 for my soul. H5315
8 Let destruction H7722 come upon H935 him at unawares H3808 H3045 ; and let his net H7568 that H834 he hath hid H2934 catch H3920 himself : into that very destruction H7722 let him fall. H5307
9 And my soul H5315 shall be joyful H1523 in the LORD: H3068 it shall rejoice H7797 in his salvation. H3444
10 All H3605 my bones H6106 shall say, H559 LORD, H3068 who H4310 is like unto thee, H3644 which deliverest H5337 the poor H6041 from him that is too strong H4480 H2389 for H4480 him, yea , the poor H6041 and the needy H34 from him that spoileth H4480 H1497 him?
11 False H2555 witnesses H5707 did rise up; H6965 they laid to my charge H7592 things that H834 I knew H3045 not. H3808
12 They rewarded H7999 me evil H7451 for H8478 good H2896 to the spoiling H7908 of my soul. H5315
13 But as for me, H589 when they were sick, H2470 my clothing H3830 was sackcloth: H8242 I humbled H6031 my soul H5315 with fasting; H6685 and my prayer H8605 returned H7725 into H5921 mine own bosom. H2436
14 I behaved myself H1980 as though he had been my friend H7453 or brother: H251 I bowed down H7817 heavily, H6937 as one that mourneth H57 for his mother. H517
15 But in mine adversity H6761 they rejoiced, H8055 and gathered themselves together: H622 yea , the abjects H5222 gathered themselves together H622 against H5921 me , and I knew H3045 it not; H3808 they did tear H7167 me , and ceased H1826 not: H3808
16 With hypocritical H2611 mockers H3934 in feasts, H4580 they gnashed H2786 upon H5921 me with their teeth. H8127
17 Lord H136 , how long H4100 wilt thou look on H7200 ? rescue H7725 my soul H5315 from their destructions H4480 H7722 , my darling H3173 from the lions H4480 H3715 .
18 I will give thee thanks H3034 in the great H7227 congregation: H6951 I will praise H1984 thee among much H6099 people. H5971
19 Let not H408 them that are mine enemies H341 wrongfully H8267 rejoice H8055 over me: neither let them wink H7169 with the eye H5869 that hate H8130 me without a cause. H2600
20 For H3588 they speak H1696 not H3808 peace: H7965 but they devise H2803 deceitful H4820 matters H1697 against H5921 them that are quiet H7282 in the land. H776
21 Yea , they opened H7337 their mouth H6310 wide against H5921 me, and said, H559 Aha, H1889 aha, H1889 our eye H5869 hath seen H7200 it .
22 This thou hast seen, H7200 O LORD: H3068 keep not H408 silence: H2790 O Lord, H136 be not H408 far H7368 from H4480 me.
23 Stir up thyself, H5782 and awake H6974 to my judgment, H4941 even unto my cause, H7379 my God H430 and my Lord. H136
24 Judge H8199 me , O LORD H3068 my God, H430 according to thy righteousness; H6664 and let them not H408 rejoice H8055 over me.
25 Let them not H408 say H559 in their hearts, H3820 Ah, H1889 so would we have it: H5315 let them not H408 say, H559 We have swallowed him up. H1104
26 Let them be ashamed H954 and brought to confusion H2659 together H3162 that rejoice H8056 at mine hurt: H7451 let them be clothed H3847 with shame H1322 and dishonor H3639 that magnify H1431 themselves against H5921 me.
27 Let them shout for joy, H7442 and be glad, H8055 that favor H2655 my righteous cause: H6664 yea , let them say H559 continually, H8548 Let the LORD H3068 be magnified, H1431 which hath pleasure H2655 in the prosperity H7965 of his servant. H5650
28 And my tongue H3956 shall speak H1897 of thy righteousness H6664 and of thy praise H8416 all H3605 the day H3117 long.
