Psalms 35 (kjv)

A Psalm of David^H1732. Plead^H7378 my cause, O LORD^H3068, with them that strive^H3401 with me: fight^H3898 against them that fight^H3898 against me.²Take hold^H2388 of shield^H4043 and buckler^H6793, and stand up^H6965 for mine help^H5833.³Draw out^H7324 also the spear^H2595, and stop^H5462 the way against^H7125 them that persecute^H7291 me: say^H559 unto my soul^H5315, I am thy salvation^H3444.⁴Let them be confounded^H954 and put to shame^H3637 that seek^H1245 after my soul^H5315: let them be turned^H5472 back^H268 and brought to confusion^H2659 that devise^H2803 my hurt^H7451.⁵Let them be as chaff^H4671 before^H6440 the wind^H7307: and let the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 chase^H1760 them.⁶Let their way^H1870 be dark^H2822 and slippery^H2519: and let the angel^H4397 of the LORD^H3068 persecute^H7291 them.⁷For without cause^H2600 have they hid^H2934 for me their net^H7568 in a pit^H7845, which without cause^H2600 they have digged^H2658 for my soul^H5315.⁸Let destruction^H7722 come^H935 upon him at unawares^{H3045 H3808}; and let his net^H7568 that he hath hid^H2934 catch^H3920 himself: into that very destruction^H7722 let him fall^H5307.⁹And my soul^H5315 shall be joyful^H1523 in the LORD^H3068: it shall rejoice^H7797 in his salvation^H3444.¹⁰All my bones^H6106 shall say^H559, LORD^H3068, who is like unto thee, which deliverest^H5337 the poor^H6041 from him that is too strong^H2389 for him, yea, the poor^H6041 and the needy^H34 from him that spoileth^H1497 him?

¹¹False^H2555 witnesses^H5707 did rise up^H6965; they laid to my charge^H7592 things that I knew^H3045 not.¹²They rewarded^H7999 me evil^H7451 for good^H2896 to the spoiling^H7908 of my soul^H5315.¹³But as for me, when they were sick^H2470, my clothing^H3830 was sackcloth^H8242: I humbled^H6031 my soul^H5315 with fasting^H6685; and my prayer^H8605 returned^H7725 into mine own bosom^H2436.¹⁴I behaved^H1980 myself as though he had been my friend^H7453 or brother^H251: I bowed down^H7817 heavily^H6937, as one that mourneth^H57 for his mother^H517.¹⁵But in mine adversity^H6761 they rejoiced^H8055, and gathered themselves together^H622: yea, the abjects^H5222 gathered themselves together^H622 against me, and I knew^H3045 it not; they did tear^H7167 me, and ceased^H1826 not:¹⁶With hypocritical^H2611 mockers^H3934 in feasts^H4580, they gnashed^H2786 upon me with their teeth^H8127.¹⁷Lord^H136, how long wilt thou look on^H7200? rescue^H7725 my soul^H5315 from their destructions^H7722, my darling^H3173 from the lions^H3715.¹⁸I will give thee thanks^H3034 in the great^H7227 congregation^H6951: I will praise^H1984 thee among much^H6099 people^H5971.¹⁹Let not them that are mine enemies^H341 wrongfully^H8267 rejoice^H8055 over me: neither let them wink^H7169 with the eye^H5869 that hate^H8130 me without a cause^H2600.²⁰For they speak^H1696 not peace^H7965: but they devise^H2803 deceitful^H4820 matters^H1697 against them that are quiet^H7282 in the land^H776.²¹Yea, they opened their mouth^H6310 wide^H7337 against me, and said^H559, Aha^H1889, aha^H1889, our eye^H5869 hath seen^H7200 it.

²²This thou hast seen^H7200, O LORD^H3068: keep not silence^H2790: O Lord^H136, be not far^H7368 from me.²³Stir up^H5782 thyself, and awake^H6974 to my judgment^H4941, even unto my cause^H7379, my God^H430 and my Lord^H136.²⁴Judge^H8199 me, O LORD^H3068 my God^H430, according to thy righteousness^H6664; and let them not rejoice^H8055 over me.²⁵Let them not say^H559 in their hearts^H3820, Ah^H1889, so would we have it^H5315: let them not say^H559, We have swallowed him up^H1104.²⁶Let them be ashamed^H954 and brought to confusion^H2659 together^H3162 that rejoice^H8056 at mine hurt^H7451: let them be clothed^H3847 with shame^H1322 and dishonour^H3639 that magnify^H1431 themselves against me.²⁷Let them shout for joy^H7442, and be glad^H8055, that favour^H2655 my righteous cause^H6664: yea, let them say^H559 continually^H8548, Let the LORD^H3068 be magnified^H1431, which hath pleasure^H2655 in the prosperity^H7965 of his servant^H5650.²⁸And my tongue^H3956 shall speak^H1897 of thy righteousness^H6664 and of thy praise^H8416 all the day^H3117 long.
