Psalms 35
1 “A psalm of David.” Contend, O LORD! with them that contend with me! Fight against them that fight against me!
Of David - contend! O Yahweh with opponents my fight with [those who] fight with me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help!
Take hold of shield and body shield and arise! help my.
3 Draw forth the spear and the axe against my persecutors; Say to me, “I am thy salvation.”
And draw out a spear and lance to meet pursuers my say to self my [am] salvation your I.
4 May they be confounded and put to shame, who seek my life; May they be turned back with disgrace, who devise my hurt!
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 dust before the wind; May the angel of the LORD drive them!
May they be like chaff before a wind and [the] angel of Yahweh pushing.
6 May their way be 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 laid for me a snare; Without cause they have digged for me a pit.
For without cause they have hidden for me [the] pit of net their without cause they have dug for life my.
8 May unforeseen destruction come upon them! May the snare which they have laid lay hold on themselves, And may they fall into destruction!
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 shall my soul rejoice in the LORD; It shall exult in his protection.
And self my it will rejoice in Yahweh it will exult in salvation his.
10 All my bones shall say, Who, O LORD! is like thee, Who dost rescue the afflicted from the oppressor, The afflicted and destitute from the spoiler?
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 False witnesses have risen up; They charge me with that which has not entered my mind.
They rise up! witnesses of violence [that] which not I know they ask me.
12 They repay me evil for good; They cause bereavement to my soul.
They repay me harm in place of good bereavement [belongs] to self my.
13 And yet I, during their sickness, clothed myself with sackcloth, And afflicted myself with fasting; And my prayer was turned to my bosom.
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 behaved myself as if he had been my friend or brother; I bowed down in sadness, as 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 at my fall they rejoice, and gather themselves together; Revilers whom I know not assemble themselves against me; They tear 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 With base men who mock for their bread, They gnash at me with their teeth.
Godless [ones] of mockers of cake they gnashed towards me teeth their.
17 How long, O LORD! wilt thou look on? O rescue my life from the destruction they plot for me; My precious life from these young lions!
O Lord how long? will you look bring back! life my from ravages their from young lions only [life] my.
18 I will thank thee in the great assembly! Before a numerous people I will praise thee.
I will give thanks to you in [the] assembly great among a people numerous I will praise you.
19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully triumph over me; Let them not wink with the eye, who hate me without cause!
May not they rejoice to me enemies my falsehood [those who] hate me without cause let them wink an eye.
20 For they speak not peace; They devise deceit against them that are quiet in the land.
For not peace they speak and on [the] quiet [people] of [the] land words of deceit they plan!
21 Yea, they open their mouths wide against me; They say, “Aha, aha! our eyes seeth it.”
And they have opened wide on me mouth their they have said aha! - aha! it has seen eyes our.
22 Thou seest it, O LORD! 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 Arouse thyself; awake for my defence! My God and my Lord, awake to my cause!
Wake up! and awake! for judgment my O God my and O Lord for cause my.
24 Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Jehovah, my God! Let them not triumph 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! we have our wish!” 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 they all be confounded and brought to shame, Who rejoice at my calamity! May they be clothed with ignominy and disgrace, Who exalt themselves 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 shout for joy, and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; Let them ever say, “The LORD be praised, Who delighteth in the prosperity 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 So shall my tongue speak of thy righteousness, And daily repeat thy praise.
And tongue my it will utter righteousness your all the day praise your.
