Psalm 35 :: New English Translation (NET)

Prayer for Rescue from Enemies.

Psa 35:1O LORD, fight those who fight with me! Attack those who attack me!

Psa 35:2Grab your small shield and large shield, and rise up to help me!

Psa 35:3Use your spear and lance against those who chase me! Assure me with these words: "I am your deliverer!"

Psa 35:4May those who seek my life be embarrassed and humiliated! May those who plan to harm me be turned back and ashamed!

Psa 35:5

Psa 35:5May they be like wind-driven chaff, as the LORD's angel attacks them!

Psa 35:6

Psa 35:6May their path be dark and slippery, as the LORD's angel chases them!

Psa 35:7

Psa 35:7I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me and dug a pit to trap me.

Psa 35:8

Psa 35:8Let destruction take them by surprise! Let the net they hid catch them! Let them fall into destruction!

Psa 35:9

Psa 35:9Then I will rejoice in the LORD and be happy because of his deliverance.

Psa 35:10

Psa 35:10With 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."

Psa 35:11

Psa 35:11Violent men perjure themselves, and falsely accuse me.

Psa 35:12

Psa 35:12They repay me evil for the good I have done; I am overwhelmed with sorrow.

Psa 35:13

Psa 35:13When they were sick, I wore sackcloth, and refrained from eating food. (If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered!)

Psa 35:14

Psa 35:14I 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.

Psa 35:15

Psa 35:15But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and gathered together; they gathered together to ambush me. They tore at me without stopping to rest.

Psa 35:16

Psa 35:16When I tripped, they taunted me relentlessly, and tried to bite me.

Psa 35:17

Psa 35:17O 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!

Psa 35:18

Psa 35:18Then I will give you thanks in the great assembly; I will praise you before a large crowd of people!

Psa 35:19

Psa 35:19Do 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!

Psa 35:20

Psa 35:20For they do not try to make peace with others, but plan ways to deceive those who are unsuspecting.

Psa 35:21

Psa 35:21They are ready to devour me; they say, "Aha! Aha! We've got you!"

Psa 35:22

Psa 35:22But you take notice, LORD! O Lord, do not remain far away from me!

Psa 35:23

Psa 35:23Rouse yourself, wake up and vindicate me! My God and Lord, defend my just cause!

Psa 35:24

Psa 35:24Vindicate me by your justice, O LORD my God! Do not let them gloat over me!

Psa 35:25

Psa 35:25Do not let them say to themselves, "Aha! We have what we wanted!" Do not let them say, "We have devoured him!"

Psa 35:26

Psa 35:26May those who want to harm me be totally embarrassed and ashamed! May those who arrogantly taunt me be covered with shame and humiliation!

Psa 35:27

Psa 35:27May 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."

Psa 35:28

Psa 35:28Then I will tell others about your justice, and praise you all day long.
