Psalms 35
1 Of David himself. O Lord, judge those who harm me; assail those who attack me.
Of David - contend! O Yahweh with opponents my fight with [those who] fight with me.
2 Take hold of weapons and a shield, and rise up in assistance to me.
Take hold of shield and body shield and arise! help my.
3 Bring forth the spear, and close in on those who persecute me. 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 Let them be confounded and in awe, who pursue my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded, who think up evil against me.
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 become like dust before the face of the wind, and let the Angel of the Lord hem them in.
May they be like chaff before a wind and [the] angel of Yahweh pushing.
6 May their way become dark and slippery, and may the Angel of the Lord pursue them.
May it be way their darkness and slippery places and [the] angel of Yahweh pursuing them.
7 For, without cause, they have concealed their snare for me unto destruction. Over nothing, they have rebuked my soul.
For without cause they have hidden for me [the] pit of net their without cause they have dug for life my.
8 Let the snare, of which he is ignorant, come upon him, and let the deception, which he has hidden, take hold of him: and may he fall into that very snare.
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 But my soul will exult in the Lord and delight over his salvation.
And self my it will rejoice in Yahweh it will exult in salvation his.
10 All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like you?” He rescues the needy from the hand of the stronger one, the indigent and the poor from those who plunder him.
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 Unfair witnesses have risen up, interrogating me about things of which I am ignorant.
They rise up! witnesses of violence [that] which not I know they ask me.
12 They repaid me evil for good, to the deprivation of my soul.
They repay me harm in place of good bereavement [belongs] to self my.
13 But as for me, when they were harassing me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting, and my prayer will become my sinews.
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 Like a neighbor, and like our brother, so did I please; like one mourning and contrite, so was I humbled.
Like a friend like a brother of me I went about like a mourner of a mother mourning I bowed.
15 And they have been joyful against me, and they joined together. Scourges have been gathered over me, and I was ignorant of it.
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 They have been scattered, yet they were unremorseful. They have tested me. They scoffed at me with scorn. They gnashed their teeth over me.
Godless [ones] of mockers of cake they gnashed towards me teeth their.
17 Lord, when will you look down upon me? Restore my soul from before their malice, my only one from before the lions.
O Lord how long? will you look bring back! life my from ravages their from young lions only [life] my.
18 I will confess to you in a great Church. I will praise you among a weighty people.
I will give thanks to you in [the] assembly great among a people numerous I will praise you.
19 May those who are my unjust adversaries not be glad over me: those who have hated me without cause, and who nod agreement with their eyes.
May not they rejoice to me enemies my falsehood [those who] hate me without cause let them wink an eye.
20 For indeed, they spoke peacefully to me; and speaking with passion to the earth, they intended deceit.
For not peace they speak and on [the] quiet [people] of [the] land words of deceit they plan!
21 And they opened their mouth wide over me. They said, “Well, well, our eyes have seen.”
And they have opened wide on me mouth their they have said aha! - aha! it has seen eyes our.
22 You have seen, O Lord, do not be silent. Lord, do not depart from me.
You have seen O Yahweh may not you be silent O Lord may not you be distant from me.
23 Rise up and be attentive to my judgment, 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 Judge me according to your justice, O Lord, my God, and do not let them be glad over me.
Vindicate me according to righteousness your O Yahweh God my and may not they rejoice to me.
25 Do not let them say in their hearts, “Well, well, to our soul.” Neither let them say, “We have devoured him.”
May not they say in heart their aha! desire our may not they say we have swallowed him.
26 Let them blush and be in awe together, those who congratulate at my misfortunes. Let them be clothed with confusion and awe, who speak great things against me.
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 Let them exult and rejoice, who wish my justice, and let them ever say, “The Lord be magnified,” who will the peace of his servant.
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 And so my tongue will express your justice: your praise all day long.
And tongue my it will utter righteousness your all the day praise your.
