Psalm 35 :: Brenton's English Septuagint (BES)

Psa 35:1(LXX 34:1) A Psalm of David. Judge thou, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me.
Psa 35:2(LXX 34:2) Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.
Psa 35:3(LXX 34:3) Bring forth a sword, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am thy salvation.
Psa 35:4(LXX 34:4) Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
Psa 35:5(LXX 34:5) Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
Psa 35:6(LXX 34:6) Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.
Psa 35:7(LXX 34:7) For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.
Psa 35:8(LXX 34:8) Let a snare which they know not come upon them: and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
Psa 35:9(LXX 34:9) But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.
Psa 35:10(LXX 34:10) All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yea, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
Psa 35:11(LXX 34:11) Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I knew not.
Psa 35:12(LXX 34:12) They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.
Psa 35:13(LXX 34:13) But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my own bosom.
Psa 35:14(LXX 34:14) I behaved agreeably towards them as if it had been our neighbour or brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.
Psa 35:15(LXX 34:15) Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were [fn]plentifully brought against me, and I knew it not: they were scattered, but [fn]repented not.
Psa 35:16(LXX 34:16) They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.
Psa 35:17(LXX 34:17) O Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.
Psa 35:18(LXX 34:18) I will give thanks to thee even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise thee.
Psa 35:19(LXX 34:19) Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
Psa 35:20(LXX 34:20) For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in their anger.
Psa 35:21(LXX 34:21) And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said, Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it.
Psa 35:22(LXX 34:22) Thou hast seen it, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not thyself from me.
Psa 35:23(LXX 34:23) Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, even to my cause, my God and my Lord.
Psa 35:24(LXX 34:24) Judge me, O Lord, according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.
Psa 35:25(LXX 34:25) Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, it is pleasing to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.
Psa 35:26(LXX 34:26) Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.
Psa 35:27(LXX 34:27) Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.
Psa 35:28(LXX 34:28) And my tongue shall meditate on thy righteousness, and on thy praise all the day.
