Psalm 35
A Psalm of David
- Plead my cause, O Lord, with those who strive
with me;
fight against those who fight against me. (Ps. 43:1)
- Take
hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
- Also
draw out the spear, and stop those who pursue me.
Say to my soul, "I am your salvation."
- Let
those be put to shame and brought to dishonour who seek after my life;
let those
be turned back and brought to confusion who plot my hurt. (Ps. 40:14; Ps. 70:2; Ps. 129:5)
- Let
them be like chaff before the wind (Job 21:18),
and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
- Let
their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of the Lord pursue
them. (Ps. 73:18)
- For
without cause they have hidden their
net for me in a pit, (Ps. 9:15) which they have dug without cause for my life.
(Ps. 109:5; Ps. 119:85)
- Let
destruction come upon him unexpectedly, and let his net that he has
hidden catch himself; into that very destruction let him fall.
(1 Thess. 5:3)
- And my
soul shall be joyful in the Lord;
it shall rejoice in His salvation. (Ps. 9:14)
- 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?" (Ex.
15:11; Job 5:15; Ps. 51:8)
- Fierce
witnesses rise up; they ask me things that I do not know. (Ps. 27:12; Mark 14:57&58)
- They
reward me evil for good, (John 10:32) to the sorrow of my soul. (Ps. 38:20; Ps. 109:5)
- But
as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled
myself with fasting; (Job 30:25) and my prayer would return to my own heart.
- I
paced about as though he were my friend or brother; I bowed down
heavily, as one who mourns for his mother.
- 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;
- With
ungodly mockers at feasts they gnash at me with their teeth.
(Ps. 37:12)
- Lord,
how long will You look on? Rescue me from their destructions, my
precious life from the lions. (Psalm 22:20; Hab. 1:13)
- I
will give You thanks in the great congregation; I will praise You among
many people. (Ps. 111:1)
- Let
them
not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies; nor let them wink
with the eye who hate me without a cause.
(Ps. 69:4; Ps. 109:3; Ps. 119:86; John 15:25)
- For
they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful matters against
those who are quiet in the land.
- They
also opened their mouth wide against me, and said,
"Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it." (Job 16:10)
- This
You
have seen, O Lord; Do not keep silence.
O Lord, do not be far from me. (Ps. 28:1; Ps. 38:21; Ps. 71:12)
- Stir
up Yourself, and awake to my vindication, to my cause,
my God and my Lord. (Ps.
7:6)
- Vindicate
me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness;
and let them not rejoice over me. (Ps. 43:1)
- Let
them not say in their hearts, "Ah, so we would have it!" Let them
not say, "We have swallowed him up."
- Let
them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion who rejoice at my hurt;
let them be clothed with shame and dishonour who magnify themselves
against me. (Job 8:22;
Job 19:5; Ps. 40:14; Ps. 55:12; Ps. 70:2; Ps. 109:29)
- Let
them shout for joy and be glad, who favour my righteous cause; and let them
say continually, "Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the
prosperity of His servant." (Ps. 40:16; Mal. 1:5; Romans 12:15)
- And
my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness and of Your praise all the
day long. (Ps. 71:8)
