Psalms 35:18
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
Plead
my cause
, O
L
ORD
, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3
Draw out also the spear, and stop
the way
against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I
am
thy salvation.
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.
5
Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the
L
ORD
chase
them
.
6
Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the
L
ORD
persecute them.
7
For without cause have they hid for me their net
in
a pit,
which
without cause they have digged for my soul.
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.
9
And my soul shall be joyful in the
L
ORD
: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10
All my bones shall say,
L
ORD
, 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?
11
False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge
things
that I knew not.
12
They rewarded me evil for good
to
the spoiling of my soul.
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.
14
I behaved myself as though
he had been
my friend
or
brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth
for his
mother.
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:
16
With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17
Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
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.
20
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against
them that are
quiet in the land.
21
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me,
and
said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen
it
.
22
This
thou hast seen, O
L
ORD
: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23
Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment,
even
unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24
Judge me, O
L
ORD
my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25
Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
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.
27
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the
L
ORD
be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness
and
of thy praise all the day long.
