ASV_Strong : Psalms 35
1.
2. Take hold[H2388] of shield[H4043] and buckler[H6793], And stand up[H6965] for my help[H5833].
3. Draw out[H7324] also the spear[H2595], and stop[H5462] the way against[H7125] them that pursue[H7291] me[H559]: Say unto my soul[H5315], I am thy salvation[H3444].
4. Let them be put to shame[H954] and brought to dishonor[H3637] that seek[H1245] after my soul[H5315]: Let them be turned[H5472] back[H268] and confounded[H2659] that devise[H2803] my hurt[H7451].
5. Let them be as chaff[H4671] before[H6440] the wind[H7307], And the angel[H4397] of Jehovah[H3068] driving them on[H1760].
6. Let their way[H1870] be dark[H2822] and slippery[H2519], And the angel[H4397] of Jehovah[H3068] pursuing them[H7291].
7. For without cause[H2600] have they hid[H2934] for me their net[H7568] in a pit[H7845]; Without cause[H2600] have they digged[H2658] a pit for my soul[H5315].
8. Let destruction[H7722] come[H935] upon him unawares[H3045]; And let his net[H7568] that he hath hid[H2934] catch[H3920] himself[H7722]: With destruction let him fall therein[H5307].
9. And my soul[H5315] shall be joyful[H1523] in Jehovah[H3068]: It shall rejoice[H7797] in his salvation[H3444].
10. All my bones[H6106] shall say[H559], Jehovah[H3068], who is like unto thee[H5337], Who deliverest the poor[H6041] from him that is too strong[H2389] for him[H6041], Yea, the poor and the needy[H34] from him that robbeth him[H1497]?
11. Unrighteous[H2555] witnesses[H5707] rise up[H6965]; They ask me of things[H7592] that I know not[H3045].
12. They reward[H7999] me evil[H7451] for good[H2896], To the bereaving[H7908] of my soul[H5315].
13. But as for me[H2470], when they were sick, my clothing[H3830] was sackcloth[H8242]: I afflicted[H6031] my soul[H5315] with fasting[H6685]; And my prayer[H8605] returned[H7725] into mine own bosom[H2436].
14. I behaved[H1980] myself as though it had been my friend[H7453] or my brother[H251]: I bowed down[H7817] mourning[H6937], as one that bewaileth[H57] his mother[H517].
15. But in mine adversity[H6761] they rejoiced[H8055], and gathered themselves together[H622]: The abjects[H5222] gathered themselves together[H622] against me[H3045], and I knew it not[H7167]; They did tear me[H1826], and ceased not:
16. Like the profane[H2611] mockers[H3934] in feasts[H4580], They gnashed[H2786] upon me with their teeth[H8127].
17. Lord[H136], how long wilt thou look on[H7200]? Rescue[H7725] my soul[H5315] from their destructions[H7722], My darling[H3173] from the lions[H3715].
18. I will give thee thanks[H3034] in the great[H7227] assembly[H6951]: I will praise[H1984] thee among much[H6099] people[H5971].
19. Let not them that are mine enemies[H341] wrongfully[H8267] rejoice[H8055] over me[H7169]; Neither let them wink with the eye[H5869] that hate[H8130] me without a cause[H2600].
20. For they speak[H1696] not peace[H7965]; But they devise[H2803] deceitful[H4820] words[H1697] against them that are quiet[H7282] in the land[H776].
21. Yea[H6310], they opened their mouth wide[H7337] against me[H559]; They said, Aha[H1889], aha[H1889], our eye[H5869] hath seen it[H7200].
22. Thou hast seen[H7200] it[H3068], O Jehovah; Keep not silence[H2790]: O Lord[H136], be not far from me[H7368].
23. Stir up[H5782] thyself[H6974], and awake to the justice[H4941] due unto me[H7379], Even unto my cause, my God[H430] and my Lord[H136].
24. Judge[H8199] me[H3068], O Jehovah my God[H430], according to thy righteousness[H6664]; And let them not rejoice over me[H8055].
25. Let them not say[H559] in their heart[H3820], Aha[H1889], so would we have it[H5315]: Let them not say[H559], We have swallowed him up[H1104].
26. Let them be put to shame[H954] and confounded[H954] together[H3162] that rejoice[H8056] at my hurt[H7451]: Let them be clothed[H3847] with shame[H1322] and dishonor[H3639] that magnify themselves against me[H1431].
27. Let them shout for joy[H7442], and be glad[H8055], that favor[H2655] my righteous cause[H6664]: Yea[H559], let them say continually[H8548], Jehovah[H3068] be magnified[H1431], Who hath pleasure[H2655] in the prosperity[H7965] of his servant[H5650].
28. And my tongue[H3956] shall talk[H1897] of thy righteousness[H6664] And of thy praise[H8416] all the day long[H3117].
