Psalms 35
1 By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
Of David - contend! O Yahweh with opponents my fight with [those who] fight with me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
Take hold of shield and body shield and arise! help my.
3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet 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 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
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 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
May they be like chaff before a wind and [the] angel of Yahweh pushing.
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
May it be way their darkness and slippery places and [the] angel of Yahweh pursuing them.
7 For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged 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 Meet him doth desolation — he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
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 my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
And self my it will rejoice in Yahweh it will exult in salvation his.
10 All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
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 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
They rise up! witnesses of violence [that] which not I know they ask me.
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
They repay me harm in place of good bereavement [belongs] to self my.
13 And I — in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
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 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
Like a friend like a brother of me I went about like a mourner of a mother mourning I bowed.
15 And — in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
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 profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
Godless [ones] of mockers of cake they gnashed towards me teeth their.
17 Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
O Lord how long? will you look bring back! life my from ravages their from young lions only [life] my.
18 I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
I will give thanks to you in [the] assembly great among a people numerous I will praise you.
19 Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause 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 they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
For not peace they speak and on [the] quiet [people] of [the] land words of deceit they plan!
21 And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our 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 Jehovah, 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 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, 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 Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
Vindicate me according to righteousness your O Yahweh God my and may not they rejoice to me.
25 They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'
May not they say in heart their aha! desire our may not they say we have swallowed him.
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on 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 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring 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 my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
And tongue my it will utter righteousness your all the day praise your.
