Psalms 35
1 David’s. Contend, O Yahweh, with them who contend with me, Make war upon them who make war upon me.
Of David - contend! O Yahweh with opponents my fight with [those who] fight with me.
2 Grasp buckler and shield, and arise in my help;
Take hold of shield and body shield and arise! help my.
3 Then draw the spear, and close up against my pursuers, Say to my soul, Thy salvation, I am!
And draw out a spear and lance to meet pursuers my say to self my [am] salvation your I.
4 Let them be ashamed and confounded, who are seeking my life, —Let them turn back and be put to the blush, who are devising 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 Let them be as chaff before the wind, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pressing them on:
May they be like chaff before a wind and [the] angel of Yahweh pushing.
6 Let their way become dark and slippery, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pursuing them.
May it be way their darkness and slippery places and [the] angel of Yahweh pursuing them.
7 For, without cause, have they hid for me, in a ditch, their net, —Without cause, have they digged [a pit] for my life.
For without cause they have hidden for me [the] pit of net their without cause they have dug for life my.
8 There shall reach him a ruin he could not know, —Yea, his own net which he hath hidden, shall capture him, Into that ruin, shall he fall!
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, shall exult in Yahweh, —shall be glad in his salvation.
And self my it will rejoice in Yahweh it will exult in salvation his.
10 All my bones, shall say—O Yahweh, who is like unto thee? Rescuing the oppressed from one stronger than he, Yea the oppressed and the needy, from their 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 There rise up witnesses helping forward violence and wrong, What I know not, they demand of me:
They rise up! witnesses of violence [that] which not I know they ask me.
12 They repay me evil for good, Bereaving my soul.
They repay me harm in place of good bereavement [belongs] to self my.
13 But, as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I humbled, with fasting, my soul, though, my prayer, unto mine own bosom, might return:
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 as for a friend, like as for a brother of mine own, I walked to and fro, As though mourning for a mother, I gloomily bowed myself down.
Like a friend like a brother of me I went about like a mourner of a mother mourning I bowed.
15 But, in mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together, —There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent;
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 Amidst profane praters of perversion, have they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Godless [ones] of mockers of cake they gnashed towards me teeth their.
17 My Lord! how long wilt thou look on? Bring back my soul out of their raging, from among lions, my solitary self.
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 midst of a great convocation, —In the midst of a mighty people, will I praise thee.
I will give thanks to you in [the] assembly great among a people numerous I will praise you.
19 Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye!
May not they rejoice to me enemies my falsehood [those who] hate me without cause let them wink an eye.
20 For, no salvation, will they utter, —But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise;
For not peace they speak and on [the] quiet [people] of [the] land words of deceit they plan!
21 Yea they have opened wide against me their mouth, They have said, Aha! Aha! our own eye, hath seen!
And they have opened wide on me mouth their they have said aha! - aha! it has seen eyes our.
22 Thou hast seen, O Yahweh, do not keep silence! O My 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 Bestir thyself and wake up, to my vindication, O my God and My Lord!—to my plea:
Wake up! and awake! for judgment my O God my and O Lord for cause my.
24 Vindicate me according to thy righteousness, O Yahweh, my God! And let them not rejoice 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 heart, Aha! to our mind! 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 Let them turn pale, and then at once blush, who are rejoicing at my misfortune, —Let them be clothed with shame and confusion, who are magnifying 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 in triumph and rejoice, who are desiring my justification; And let them say continually, Yahweh be magnified, Who hath taken pleasure 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 Mine own tongue also, shall softly utter thy righteousness, —All the day long, —thy praise!
And tongue my it will utter righteousness your all the day praise your.
