King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. A Psalm of David.[H1732] Plead[H7378] my cause, O LORD,[H3068] with[H854] them that strive[H3401] with me: fight against[H3898] [H853] them that fight against[H3898] me.

2. Take hold[H2388] of shield[H4043] and buckler,[H6793] and stand up[H6965] for mine help.[H5833]

3. Draw 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[H589] am thy salvation.[H3444]

4. Let them be confounded[H954] and put to shame[H3637] that seek after[H1245] my soul:[H5315] let them be turned[H5472] back[H268] and brought to confusion[H2659] that devise[H2803] my hurt.[H7451]

5. Let them be[H1961] as chaff[H4671] before[H6440] the wind:[H7307] and let the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] chase[H1760] them.

6. Let their way[H1870] be[H1961] dark[H2822] and slippery:[H2519] and let the angel[H4397] of the LORD[H3068] persecute[H7291] them.

7. For[H3588] 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]

8. Let destruction[H7722] come upon[H935] him at unawares;[H3808] [H3045] and let his net[H7568] that[H834] he hath hid[H2934] catch[H3920] himself: into that very destruction[H7722] let him fall.[H5307]

9. And my soul[H5315] shall be joyful[H1523] in the LORD:[H3068] it shall rejoice[H7797] in his salvation.[H3444]

10. All[H3605] my bones[H6106] shall say,[H559] LORD,[H3068] who[H4310] is like unto thee,[H3644] which deliverest[H5337] the poor[H6041] from him that is too strong[H4480] [H2389] for[H4480] him, yea, the poor[H6041] and the needy[H34] from him that spoileth[H4480] [H1497] him?

11. False[H2555] witnesses[H5707] did rise up;[H6965] they laid to my charge[H7592] things that[H834] I knew[H3045] not.[H3808]

12. They rewarded[H7999] me evil[H7451] for[H8478] good[H2896] to the spoiling[H7908] of my soul.[H5315]

13. But as for me,[H589] 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[H5921] mine own bosom.[H2436]

14. I behaved myself[H1980] 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]

15. But in mine adversity[H6761] they rejoiced,[H8055] and gathered themselves together:[H622] yea, the abjects[H5222] gathered themselves together[H622] against[H5921] me, and I knew[H3045] it not;[H3808] they did tear[H7167] me, and ceased[H1826] not: [H3808]

16. With hypocritical[H2611] mockers[H3934] in feasts,[H4580] they gnashed[H2786] upon[H5921] me with their teeth.[H8127]

17. Lord,[H136] how long[H4100] wilt thou look on?[H7200] rescue[H7725] my soul[H5315] from their destructions,[H4480] [H7722] my darling[H3173] from the lions.[H4480] [H3715]

18. I will give thee thanks[H3034] in the great[H7227] congregation:[H6951] I will praise[H1984] thee among much[H6099] people.[H5971]

19. Let not[H408] 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]

20. For[H3588] they speak[H1696] not[H3808] peace:[H7965] but they devise[H2803] deceitful[H4820] matters[H1697] against[H5921] them that are quiet[H7282] in the land.[H776]

21. Yea, they opened[H7337] their mouth[H6310] wide against[H5921] me, and said,[H559] Aha,[H1889] aha,[H1889] our eye[H5869] hath seen[H7200] it.

22. This thou hast seen,[H7200] O LORD:[H3068] keep not[H408] silence:[H2790] O Lord,[H136] be not[H408] far[H7368] from[H4480] me.

23. Stir up thyself,[H5782] and awake[H6974] to my judgment,[H4941] even unto my cause,[H7379] my God[H430] and my Lord.[H136]

24. Judge[H8199] me, O LORD[H3068] my God,[H430] according to thy righteousness;[H6664] and let them not[H408] rejoice[H8055] over me.

25. Let them not[H408] say[H559] in their hearts,[H3820] Ah,[H1889] so would we have it:[H5315] let them not[H408] say,[H559] We have swallowed him up.[H1104]

26. Let 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 dishonor[H3639] that magnify[H1431] themselves against[H5921] me.

27. Let them shout for joy,[H7442] and be glad,[H8055] that favor[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]

28. And my tongue[H3956] shall speak[H1897] of thy righteousness[H6664] and of thy praise[H8416] all[H3605] the day[H3117] long.
