NET PSA Chapter 35

◄ PSA 35 ► ║ ═ ©

35 By David.

35 O Lord, fight those who fight with me!

Attack those who attack me!

2 Grab your small shield and large shield,

and rise up to help me!

3 Use your spear and lance against those who chase me!

Assure me with these words: “I am your deliverer!”

4 May those who seek my life be embarrassed and humiliated!

May those who plan to harm me be turned back and ashamed!

5 May they be like wind-driven chaff,

as the Lord’s angel attacks them!

6 May their path be dark and slippery,

as the Lord’s angel chases them!

7 I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me

and dug a pit to trap me.

8 Let destruction take them by surprise!

Let the net they hid catch them!

Let them fall into destruction!

9 Then I will rejoice in the Lord

and be happy because of his deliverance.

10 With all my strength I will say,

“O Lord, who can compare to you?

You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them;

the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.”

11 Violent men perjure themselves,

and falsely accuse me.

12 They repay me evil for the good I have done;

I am overwhelmed with sorrow.

13 When they were sick, I wore sackcloth,

and refrained from eating food.

(If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered!)

14 I mourned for them as I would for a friend or my brother.

I bowed down in sorrow as if I were mourning for my mother.

15 But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and gathered together;

they gathered together to ambush me.

They tore at me without stopping to rest.

16 When I tripped, they taunted me relentlessly,

and tried to bite me.

17 O Lord, how long are you going to just stand there and watch this?

Rescue me from their destructive attacks;

guard my life from the young lions!

18 Then I will give you thanks in the great assembly;

I will praise you before a large crowd of people!

19 Do not let those who are my enemies for no reason gloat over me!

Do not let those who hate me without cause carry out their wicked schemes!

20 For they do not try to make peace with others,

but plan ways to deceive those who are unsuspecting.

21 They are ready to devour me;

they say, “Aha! Aha! We’ve got you!”

22 But you take notice, Lord!

O Lord, do not remain far away from me!

23 Rouse yourself, wake up and vindicate me!

My God and Lord, defend my just cause!

24 Vindicate me by your justice, O Lord my God!

Do not let them gloat over me!

25 Do not let them say to themselves, “Aha! We have what we wanted!”

Do not let them say, “We have devoured him!”

26 May those who want to harm me be totally embarrassed and ashamed!

May those who arrogantly taunt me be covered with shame and humiliation!

27 May those who desire my vindication shout for joy and rejoice!

May they continually say, “May the Lord be praised, for he wants his servant to be secure.”

28 Then I will tell others about your justice,

and praise you all day long.
