Psalms 35

1 Of David - contend! O Yahweh with opponents my fight with [those who] fight with me.

2 Take hold of shield and body shield and arise! help my.

3 And draw out a spear and lance to meet pursuers my say to self my [am] salvation your I.

4 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 before a wind and [the] angel of Yahweh pushing.

6 May it be way their darkness and slippery places and [the] angel of Yahweh pursuing them.

7 For without cause they have hidden for me [the] pit of net their without cause they have dug for life my.

8 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 And self my it will rejoice in Yahweh it will exult in salvation his.

10 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 They rise up! witnesses of violence [that] which not I know they ask me.

12 They repay me harm in place of good bereavement [belongs] to self my.

13 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 friend like a brother of me I went about like a mourner of a mother mourning I bowed.

15 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 Godless [ones] of mockers of cake they gnashed towards me teeth their.

17 O Lord how long? will you look bring back! life my from ravages their from young lions only [life] my.

18 I will give thanks to you in [the] assembly great among a people numerous I will praise you.

19 May not they rejoice to me enemies my falsehood [those who] hate me without cause let them wink an eye.

20 For not peace they speak and on [the] quiet [people] of [the] land words of deceit they plan!

21 And they have opened wide on me mouth their they have said aha! - aha! it has seen eyes our.

22 You have seen O Yahweh may not you be silent O Lord may not you be distant from me.

23 Wake up! and awake! for judgment my O God my and O Lord for cause my.

24 Vindicate me according to righteousness your O Yahweh God my and may not they rejoice to me.

25 May not they say in heart their aha! desire our may not they say we have swallowed him.

26 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 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 tongue my it will utter righteousness your all the day praise your.
