35Argue my case, LORD, against those who argue against me. Fight against those who fight against me.H1732H7378H3068H3401H3898H38982Take up the buckler and the shield, and rise up to help me.H2388H4043H6793H6965H58333Take out the spear and the ax to confront the one who pursues me; say to me, "I am your deliverer!"H7324H2595H5462H7125H7291H559H5315H34444Let those who seek my life be ashamed and disgraced; let those who plot evil against me be driven back and confounded.H954H3637H1245H5315H5472H268H2659H2803H74515Make them like the chaff before the wind, as the messenger of the LORD pushes them aside.H4671H6440H7307H4397H3068H17606May their path be dark and slippery, as the messenger of the LORD tracks them down.H1870H2822H2519H4397H3068H72917Without justification they laid a snare for me; without justification they dug a pit to trap me.H2600H2934H7568H7845H2600H2658H53158Let destruction come upon them unawares, and let the net that he hid catch him; let him fall into destruction.H7722H935H3045H3808H7568H2934H3920H7722H53079My soul will rejoice in the LORD and be glad in his deliverance.H5315H1523H3068H7797H344410All my bones will say, "LORD, who is like you? Who delivers the weak from the one who is stronger than he, and the weak and the needy from the one who wants to rob him?"H6106H559H3068H5337H6041H2389H6041H34H149711False witnesses stepped forward and questioned me concerning things about which I knew nothing.H2555H5707H6965H7592H304512They paid me back evil for good; my soul mournsH7999H7451H2896H7908H531513But when they were sick, I wore sack cloth, humbled myself with fasting, and prayed from my heart repeatedly for them.H2470H3830H8242H6031H5315H6685H8605H7725H243614I paced about as for my friend or my brother, and fell down mourning as one weeps for one's mother.H1980H7453H251H7817H6937H57H51715But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and gathered together. They gathered together against me?attackers whom I did not know. They tore me apart and would not stop.H6761H8055H622H5222H622H3045H7167H182616Malicious mockers?they gnashed their teeth against me.H2611H3934H4580H2786H812717Lord, how long will you just watch? Rescue me from their destruction, my precious life from these young lions.H136H7200H7725H5315H7722H3173H371518Then I will give you thanks in front of the great congregation; in the midst of the mighty throng I will praise you.H3034H7227H6951H1984H6099H597119Do not let my deceitful enemies gloat over me, nor let those who hate me without justification mock me with their eyes.H341H8267H8055H7169H5869H8130H260020For they do not speak peace; they devise clever lies against the peaceful people of the land.H1696H7965H2803H4820H1697H7282H77621They open their mouth wide against me, claiming, "Yes! Yes! We saw him do it with our own eyes!"H6310H7337H559H1889H1889H5869H720022You see this, LORD, so do not be silent. Lord, do not be far from me!H7200H3068H2790H136H736823Wake up! Arouse yourself to vindicate me and argue my case, my God and my Lord.H5782H6974H4941H7379H430H13624Judge me according to your righteousness, LORD my God! But do not let them gloat over me.H8199H3068H430H6664H805525Don't let them say in their hearts, "Yes! We got what we wanted." Don't let them say, "We have swallowed him up."H559H3820H1889H5315H559H110426Instead, let those who gloat over the evil directed against me be ashamed and confounded together; Let those who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and dishonor.H954H2659H3162H8056H7451H3847H1322H3639H143127Let those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and rejoice! Let them continually say, "Magnify the LORD, who delights in giving peace to his servant."35H7442H8055H2655H6664H559H8548H3068H1431H2655H7965H565028My tongue will declare your righteousness and praise you all day long.H3956H1897H6664H8416H3117
