Psalm 35 - A Psalm of David

Plead my cause, O Lord, with
them that strive with me: fight

against them that fight against me.

Take hold of shield and buckler,
and stand up for mine help.

Draw out also the spear, and stop the
way against them that persecute me:

say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

Let them be confounded and put to
shame that seek after my soul: let

them be turned back and brought
to confusion that devise my hurt.

Let them be as chaff before the wind:
and let the angel of the Lord chase them.

Let their way be dark and slippery: and
let the angel of the Lord persecute them.

their net in a pit, which without
cause they have digged for my soul.

Let destruction come upon him at
unawares; and let his net that he

hath hid catch himself: into that
very destruction let him fall.

And my soul shall be joyful in the
Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

All my bones shall say, Lord, who
is like unto thee, which deliverest

the poor from him that is too strong
for him, yea, the poor and the

needy from him that spoileth him?

False witnesses did rise up; they laid
to my charge things that I knew not.

They rewarded me evil for good
to the spoiling of my soul.

But as for me, when they were
sick, my clothing was sackcloth:

I humbled my soul with fasting; and my
prayer returned into mine own bosom.

I behaved myself as though he had been my
friend or brother: I bowed down heavily,

as one that mourneth for his mother.

But in mine adversity they rejoiced,
and gathered themselves together: the

abjects gathered themselves together
against me, and I knew it not; they

did tear me, and ceased not: With
hypocritical mockers in feasts, they

gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Lord, how long wilt thou look on?

rescue my soul from their destructions,
my darling from the lions.

I will give thee thanks in
the great congregation: I will

praise thee among much people.

Let not them that are mine enemies
wrongfully rejoice over me:

neither let them wink with the
eye that hate me without a cause.

For they speak not peace: but they
devise deceitful matters against

them that are quiet in the land.

Yea, they opened their mouth
wide against me, and said,

Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not
silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment,
even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

Judge me, O Lord my God, according
to thy righteousness; and

let them not rejoice over me.

Let them not say in their hearts,
Ah, so would we have it: let them

not say, We have swallowed him up.

Let them be ashamed and brought
to confusion together that rejoice

at mine hurt: let them be clothed
with shame and dishonour that

magnify themselves against me.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad,
that favour my righteous cause: yea,

let them say continually, Let the
Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure

in the prosperity of his servant.

And my tongue shall speak
of thy righteousness and of

thy praise all the day long.
