PS-35:1 [A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause], O LORD, with themthat strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. PS-35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. PS-35:3 Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation. PS-35:4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. PS-35:5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase [them]. PS-35:6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. PS-35:7 For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul. PS-35:8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. PS-35:9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. PS-35:10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? PS-35:11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not. PS-35:12 They rewarded me evil for good [to] the spoiling of my soul. PS-35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. PS-35:14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or] brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his] mother. PS-35:15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: [yea], the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not: PS-35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. PS-35:17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. PS-35:18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. PS-35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. PS-35:20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against [them that are] quiet in the land. PS-35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it]. PS-35:22 [This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me. PS-35:23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord. PS-35:24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. PS-35:25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up. PS-35:26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me. PS-35:27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. PS-35:28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy praise all the day long.
