Psalms 35
1 Of David. Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me.
Of David - contend! O Yahweh with opponents my fight with [those who] fight with me.
2 Take up Your shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
Take hold of shield and body shield and arise! help my.
3 Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
And draw out a spear and lance to meet pursuers my say to self my [am] salvation your I.
4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.
May they be ashamed and they may be humiliated [those who] seek life my may they be turned back backwards and may they be abashed [those who] plot harm my.
5 May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.
May they be like chaff before a wind and [the] angel of Yahweh pushing.
6 May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.
May it be way their darkness and slippery places and [the] angel of Yahweh pursuing them.
7 For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
For without cause they have hidden for me [the] pit of net their without cause they have dug for life my.
8 May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
May it come to him destruction [which] not he knows and net his which he hid may it catch him in destruction may he fall in it.
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
And self my it will rejoice in Yahweh it will exult in salvation his.
10 All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”
All bones my - they will say O Yahweh who? [is] like you [one who] delivers a poor [person] from a person [too] strong for him and [the] poor and [the] needy from [one who] robs him.
11 Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
They rise up! witnesses of violence [that] which not I know they ask me.
12 They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.
They repay me harm in place of good bereavement [belongs] to self my.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
And I - when were sick they clothing my [was] sackcloth I humbled with fasting self my and prayer my to bosom my it returned.
14 I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.
Like a friend like a brother of me I went about like a mourner of a mother mourning I bowed.
15 But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.
And at stumbling my they rejoiced and they gathered they gathered on me smitten [people] and not I knew they tore and not they were still.
16 Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.
Godless [ones] of mockers of cake they gnashed towards me teeth their.
17 How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
O Lord how long? will you look bring back! life my from ravages their from young lions only [life] my.
18 Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
I will give thanks to you in [the] assembly great among a people numerous I will praise you.
19 Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
May not they rejoice to me enemies my falsehood [those who] hate me without cause let them wink an eye.
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.
For not peace they speak and on [the] quiet [people] of [the] land words of deceit they plan!
21 They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
And they have opened wide on me mouth their they have said aha! - aha! it has seen eyes our.
22 O LORD, You have seen it; be not silent. O Lord, be not far from me.
You have seen O Yahweh may not you be silent O Lord may not you be distant from me.
23 Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!
Wake up! and awake! for judgment my O God my and O Lord for cause my.
24 Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.
Vindicate me according to righteousness your O Yahweh God my and may not they rejoice to me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”
May not they say in heart their aha! desire our may not they say we have swallowed him.
26 May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.
May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [the] [people] joyful of distress my may they be clothed shame and ignominy who magnify themselves on me.
27 May those who favor my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “Exalted be the LORD who delights in His servant’s well-being.”
May they shout for joy and they may rejoice [the] [people] desirous of righteousness my and may they say continually may he be great Yahweh desiring [the] welfare of servant his.
28 Then my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness and Your praises all day long.
And tongue my it will utter righteousness your all the day praise your.
