Psalm 35 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Prayer for Rescue from Enemies.

Psa 35:1

Psa 35:1By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,

Psa 35:2

Psa 35:2Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,

Psa 35:3

Psa 35:3And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I am.'

Psa 35:4

Psa 35:4They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.

Psa 35:5

Psa 35:5They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.

Psa 35:6

Psa 35:6Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.

Psa 35:7

Psa 35:7For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.

Psa 35:8

Psa 35:8Meet him doth desolation -- he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.

Psa 35:9

Psa 35:9And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.

Psa 35:10

Psa 35:10All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'

Psa 35:11

Psa 35:11Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.

Psa 35:12

Psa 35:12They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,

Psa 35:13

Psa 35:13And I -- in their sickness my clothing is sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.

Psa 35:14

Psa 35:14As if a friend, as if my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.

Psa 35:15

Psa 35:15And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;

Psa 35:16

Psa 35:16With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.

Psa 35:17

Psa 35:17Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.

Psa 35:18

Psa 35:18I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.

Psa 35:19

Psa 35:19Mine enemies rejoice not over me with falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.

Psa 35:20

Psa 35:20For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,

Psa 35:21

Psa 35:21And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'

Psa 35:22

Psa 35:22Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord -- be not far from me,

Psa 35:23

Psa 35:23Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.

Psa 35:24

Psa 35:24Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.

Psa 35:25

Psa 35:25They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'

Psa 35:26

Psa 35:26They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.

Psa 35:27

Psa 35:27They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'

Psa 35:28

Psa 35:28And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
