Psalms 35:1-17

35:1

<
<[A Psalm] of David <01732>.>>

Plead
<07378> (8798)

[my cause], O LORD
<03068>_,

with them that strive
<03401>

with me: fight
<03898> (8798)

against them that fight
<03898> (8802)

against me.

35:2

Take hold
<02388> (8685)

of shield
<04043>

and buckler
<06793>_,

and stand up
<06965> (8798)

for mine help
<05833>_.

35:3

Draw out
<07324> (8685)

also the spear
<02595>_,

and stop
<05462> (8798)

[the way] against
<07125> (8800)

them that persecute
<07291> (8802)

me: say
<0559> (8798)

unto my soul
<05315>_,

I [am] thy salvation
<03444>_.

35:4

Let them be confounded
<0954> (8799)

and put to shame
<03637> (8735)

that seek
<01245> (8764)

after my soul
<05315>_:

let them be turned
<05472> (8735)

back
<0268>

and brought to confusion
<02659> (8799)

that devise
<02803> (8802)

my hurt
<07451>_.

35:5

Let them be as chaff
<04671>

before
<06440>

the wind
<07307>_:

and let the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

chase
<01760> (8802)

[them].

35:6

Let their way
<01870>

be dark
<02822>

and slippery
<02519>_:

and let the angel
<04397>

of the LORD
<03068>

persecute
<07291> (8802)

them. {dark...: Heb. darkness and slipperiness}

35:7

For without cause
<02600>

have they hid
<02934> (8804)

for me their net
<07568>

[in] a pit
<07845>_,

[which] without cause
<02600>

they have digged
<02658> (8804)

for my soul
<05315>_.

35:8

Let destruction
<07722>

come
<0935> (8799)

upon him at unawares
<03045> (8799) <03808>_;

and let his net
<07568>

that he hath hid
<02934> (8804)

catch
<03920> (8799)

himself: into that very destruction
<07722>

let him fall
<05307> (8799)_.

{at...: Heb. which he knoweth not of}

35:9

And my soul
<05315>

shall be joyful
<01523> (8799)

in the LORD
<03068>_:

it shall rejoice
<07797> (8799)

in his salvation
<03444>_.

35:10

All my bones
<06106>

shall say
<0559> (8799)_,

LORD
<03068>_,

who [is] like unto thee, which deliverest
<05337> (8688)

the poor
<06041>

from him that is too strong
<02389>

for him, yea, the poor
<06041>

and the needy
<034>

from him that spoileth
<01497> (8802)

him?

35:11

False
<02555>

witnesses
<05707>

did rise up
<06965> (8799)_;

they laid to my charge
<07592> (8799)

[things] that I knew
<03045> (8804)

not. {False...: Heb. Witnesses of wrong} {they...: Heb. they asked me}

35:12

They rewarded
<07999> (8762)

me evil
<07451>

for good
<02896>

[to] the spoiling
<07908>

of my soul
<05315>_.

{spoiling: Heb. depriving}

35:13

But as for me, when they were sick
<02470> (8800)_,

my clothing
<03830>

[was] sackcloth
<08242>_:

I humbled
<06031> (8765)

my soul
<05315>

with fasting
<06685>_;

and my prayer
<08605>

returned
<07725> (8799)

into mine own bosom
<02436>_.

{humbled: or, afflicted}

35:14

I behaved
<01980> (8694)

myself as though [he had been] my friend
<07453>

[or] brother
<0251>_:

I bowed down
<07817> (8804)

heavily
<06937> (8802)_,

as one that mourneth
<057>

[for his] mother
<0517>_.

{behaved myself: Heb. walked} {as though...: Heb. as a friend, as a brother to me}

35:15

But in mine adversity
<06761>

they rejoiced
<08055> (8804)_,

and gathered themselves together
<0622> (8738)_:

[yea], the abjects
<05222>

gathered themselves together
<0622> (8738)

against me, and I knew
<03045> (8804)

[it] not; they did tear
<07167> (8804)

[me], and ceased
<01826> (8804)

not: {adversity: Heb. halting}

35:16

With hypocritical
<02611>

mockers
<03934>

in feasts
<04580>_,

they gnashed
<02786> (8800)

upon me with their teeth
<08127>_.

35:17

Lord
<0136>_,

how long wilt thou look on
<07200> (8799)_?

rescue
<07725> (8685)

my soul
<05315>

from their destructions
<07722>_,

my darling
<03173>

from the lions
<03715>_.

{darling: Heb. only one}
