Psalms 35
1 A Psalme of Dauid. Pleade thou my cause, O Lord, with them that striue with me: fight thou against them, that fight against me.
Of David - contend! O Yahweh with opponents my fight with [those who] fight with me.
2 Lay hand vpon the shielde and buckler, and stand vp for mine helpe.
Take hold of shield and body shield and arise! help my.
3 Bring out also the speare and stop the way against them, that persecute me: say vnto my soule, I am thy saluation.
And draw out a spear and lance to meet pursuers my say to self my [am] salvation your I.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame, that seeke after my soule: let them be turned backe, and brought to confusion, that imagine mine hurt.
May they be ashamed and they may be humiliated [those who] seek life my may they be turned back backwards and may they be abashed [those who] plot harm my.
5 Let them be as chaffe before the winde, and let the Angel of the Lord scatter them.
May they be like chaff before a wind and [the] angel of Yahweh pushing.
6 Let their way be darke and slipperie: and let the Angel of the Lord persecute them.
May it be way their darkness and slippery places and [the] angel of Yahweh pursuing them.
7 For without cause they haue hid the pit and their net for me: without cause haue they digged a pit for my soule.
For without cause they have hidden for me [the] pit of net their without cause they have dug for life my.
8 Let destruction come vpon him at vnwares, and let his net, that he hath laid priuilie, take him: let him fall into the same destruction.
May it come to him destruction [which] not he knows and net his which he hid may it catch him in destruction may he fall in it.
9 Then my soule shalbe ioyfull in the Lord: it shall reioyce in his saluation.
And self my it will rejoice in Yahweh it will exult in salvation his.
10 All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like vnto thee, which deliuerest the poore from him, that is too strong for him! yea, the poore and him that is in miserie, from him that spoyleth him!
All bones my - they will say O Yahweh who? [is] like you [one who] delivers a poor [person] from a person [too] strong for him and [the] poor and [the] needy from [one who] robs him.
11 Cruell witnesses did rise vp: they asked of me things that I knewe not.
They rise up! witnesses of violence [that] which not I know they ask me.
12 They rewarded me euill for good, to haue spoyled my soule.
They repay me harm in place of good bereavement [belongs] to self my.
13 Yet I, when they were sicke, I was clothed with a sacke: I humbled my soule with fasting: and my praier was turned vpon my bosome.
And I - when were sick they clothing my [was] sackcloth I humbled with fasting self my and prayer my to bosom my it returned.
14 I behaued my selfe as to my friend, or as to my brother: I humbled my selfe, mourning as one that bewaileth his mother.
Like a friend like a brother of me I went about like a mourner of a mother mourning I bowed.
15 But in mine aduersitie they reioyced, and gathered them selues together: the abiects assembled themselues against me, and knewe not: they tare me and ceased not,
And at stumbling my they rejoiced and they gathered they gathered on me smitten [people] and not I knew they tore and not they were still.
16 With the false skoffers at bankets, gnashing their teeth against me.
Godless [ones] of mockers of cake they gnashed towards me teeth their.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou beholde this? deliuer my soule from their tumult, euen my desolate soule from the lions.
O Lord how long? will you look bring back! life my from ravages their from young lions only [life] my.
18 So will I giue thee thankes in a great Congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
I will give thanks to you in [the] assembly great among a people numerous I will praise you.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies, vniustly reioyce ouer mee, neyther let them winke with the eye, that hate mee without a cause.
May not they rejoice to me enemies my falsehood [those who] hate me without cause let them wink an eye.
20 For they speake not as friendes: but they imagine deceitfull woordes against the quiet of the lande.
For not peace they speak and on [the] quiet [people] of [the] land words of deceit they plan!
21 And they gaped on mee with their mouthes, saying, Aha, aha, our eye hath seene.
And they have opened wide on me mouth their they have said aha! - aha! it has seen eyes our.
22 Thou hast seene it, O Lord: keepe not silence: be not farre from me, O Lord.
You have seen O Yahweh may not you be silent O Lord may not you be distant from me.
23 Arise and wake to my iudgement, euen to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
Wake up! and awake! for judgment my O God my and O Lord for cause my.
24 Iudge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousnesse, and let them not reioyce ouer mee.
Vindicate me according to righteousness your O Yahweh God my and may not they rejoice to me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, O our soule reioyce: neither let them say, We haue deuoured him.
May not they say in heart their aha! desire our may not they say we have swallowed him.
26 Let them bee confounded, and put to shame together, that reioyce at mine hurt: let them bee clothed with confusion and shame, that lift vp themselues against me.
May they be ashamed and they may be abashed - altogether [the] [people] joyful of distress my may they be clothed shame and ignominy who magnify themselves on me.
27 But let them be ioyful and glad, that loue my righteousnesse: yea, let them say alway, Let the Lord be magnified, which loueth the prosperitie of his seruant.
May they shout for joy and they may rejoice [the] [people] desirous of righteousness my and may they say continually may he be great Yahweh desiring [the] welfare of servant his.
28 And my tongue shall vtter thy righteousnesse, and thy praise euery day.
And tongue my it will utter righteousness your all the day praise your.
