 35:1 ¶
[[[A Psalm] of David.]] Judge thou, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me. |
|
 35:1 ¶
[[[A Psalm] of David.]]º
Pleadºº
[my cause], O Yahweh,º
withº
them that striveº
with me: fightºº
againstºº
them that fightºº
againstº
me. |
 35:2
Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help. |
|
 35:2
Take holdºº
of shieldº
and buckler,º
and stand upºº
for mine help.º |
 35:3
Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation. |
|
 35:3
Draw outºº
also the spear,º
and stopºº
[the way] againstºº
them that persecuteºº
me: sayºº
unto my soul,º
Iº
[am] thy salvation.º |
 35:4
Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame. |
|
 35:4
Let them be confoundedºº
and put to shameºº
that seekºº
afterº
my soul:º
let them be turnedºº
backº
and brought to confusionºº
that deviseºº
my hurt.º |
 35:5
Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them. |
|
 35:5
Let them beº
as chaffº
beforeº
the wind:º
and let the angelº
of Yahwehº
chaseºº
[them]. |
 35:6
Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them. |
|
 35:6
Let their wayº
beº
darkº
and slippery:º
and let the angelº
of Yahwehº
persecuteºº
them. |
 35:7
For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul. |
|
 35:7
Forº
without causeº
have they hidºº
for me their netº
[in] a pit,º
[which] without causeº
they have diggedºº
for my soul.º |
 35:8
Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare. |
|
 35:8
Let destructionº
comeºº
uponº
him at unawares;ººº
and let his netº
thatº
he hath hidºº
catchºº
himself: into that very destructionº
let him fall.ºº |
 35:9
But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation. |
|
 35:9
And my soulº
shall be joyfulºº
in Yahweh:º
it shall rejoiceºº
in his salvation.º |
 35:10
All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yea, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him. |
|
 35:10
Allº
my bonesº
shall say,ºº
Yahweh,º
whoº
[is] like unto thee,º
which deliverestºº
the poorº
from him that is too strongºº
forº
him, yea, the poorº
and the needyº
from him that spoilethººº
him? |
 35:11
Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new not. |
|
 35:11
Falseº
witnessesº
did rise up;ºº
they laid to my chargeºº
[things] thatº
I knewºº
not.º |
 35:12
They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul. |
|
 35:12
They rewardedºº
me evilº
forº
goodº
[to] the spoilingº
of my soul.º |
 35:13
But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [own] bosom. |
|
 35:13
But as for me,º
when they were sick,ºº
my clothingº
[was] sackcloth:º
I humbledºº
my soulº
with fasting;º
and my prayerº
returnedºº
intoº
mine own bosom.º |
 35:14
I behaved agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbour [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance. |
|
 35:14
I behavedºº
myselfº
as though [he had been] my friendº
[or] brother:º
I bowed downºº
heavily,ºº
as one that mournethº
[for his] mother.º |
 35:15
Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not. |
|
 35:15
But in mine adversityº
they rejoiced,ºº
and gathered themselves together:ºº
[yea], the abjectsº
gathered themselves togetherºº
againstº
me, and I knewºº
[it] not;º
they did tearºº
[me], and ceasedºº
not:º |
 35:16
They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me. |
|
 35:16
With hypocriticalº
mockersº
in feasts,º
they gnashedºº
uponº
me with their teeth.º |
 35:17
O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions. |
|
 35:17
Yahweh,º
how longº
wilt thou look on?ºº
rescueºº
my soulº
from their destructions,ºº
my darlingº
from the lions.ºº |
 35:18
I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise thee. |
|
 35:18
I will give thee thanksºº
in the greatº
congregation:º
I will praiseºº
thee among muchº
people.º |
 35:19
Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes. |
|
 35:19
Let notº
them that are mine enemiesºº
wrongfullyº
rejoiceºº
over me: [neither] let them winkºº
with the eyeº
that hateºº
me without a cause.º |
 35:20
For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger. |
|
 35:20
Forº
they speakºº
notº
peace:º
but they deviseºº
deceitfulº
mattersº
againstº
[them that are] quietº
in the land.º |
 35:21
And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it]. |
|
 35:21
Yea, they openedº
their mouthº
wideºº
againstº
me, [and] said,ºº
Aha,º
aha,º
our eyeº
hath seenºº
[it]. |
 35:22
Thou hast seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [thyself] from me. |
|
 35:22
[This] thou hast seen,ºº
O Yahweh:º
keep notº
silence:ºº
O Yahweh,º
be notº
farºº
fromº
me. |
 35:23
Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, [even] to my cause, my God and my Lord. |
|
 35:23
Stir upºº
thyself,º
and awakeºº
to my judgment,º
[even] unto my cause,º
my Elohimº
and Adonai.º |
 35:24
Judge me, O Lord, according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me. |
|
 35:24
Judgeºº
me, O Yahwehº
my Elohim,º
according to thy righteousness;º
and let them notº
rejoiceºº
over me. |
 35:25
Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him. |
|
 35:25
Let them notº
sayºº
in their hearts,º
Ah,º
so would we have it:º
let them notº
say,ºº
We have swallowed him up.ºº |
 35:26
Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me. |
|
 35:26
Let them be ashamedºº
and brought to confusionºº
togetherº
that rejoiceº
at mine hurt:º
let them be clothedºº
with shameº
and dishonourº
that magnifyºº
[themselves] againstº
me. |
 35:27
Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant. |
|
 35:27
Let them shout for joy,ºº
and be glad,ºº
that favourº
my righteous cause:º
yea, let them sayºº
continually,º
Let Yahwehº
be magnified,ºº
which hath pleasureº
in the prosperityº
of his servant.º |
 35:28
And my tongue shall meditate on thy righteousness, [and] on thy praise all the day. |
|
 35:28
And my tongueº
shall speakºº
of thy righteousnessº
[and] of thy praiseº
allº
the dayº
long. |
