A Prayer for Help[p]

35Oppose those who oppose me, LORD, and fight those who fight against me!H1732H7378H3068H3401H3898H3898
2Take your shield and armor and come to my rescue.H2388H4043H6793H6965H5833
3Lift up your spear and war ax against those who pursue me. Promise that you will save me.H7324H2595H5462H7125H7291H559H5315H3444
4May those who try to kill me be defeated and disgraced! May those who plot against me be turned back and confused!H954H3637H1245H5315H5472H268H2659H2803H7451
5May they be like straw blown by the wind as the angel of the LORD pursues them!H4671H6440H7307H4397H3068H1760
6May their path be dark and slippery while the angel of the LORD strikes them down!H1870H2822H2519H4397H3068H7291
7Without any reason they laid a trap for me and dug a deep hole to catch me.H2600H2934H7568H7845H2600H2658H5315
8But destruction will catch them before they know it; they will be caught in their own trap and fall to their destruction!H7722H935H3045H3808H7568H2934H3920H7722H5307
9Then I will be glad because of the LORD; I will be happy because he saved me.H5315H1523H3068H7797H3444
10With all my heart I will say to the LORD, "There is no one like you. You protect the weak from the strong, the poor from the oppressor."H6106H559H3068H5337H6041H2389H6041H34H1497
11Evil people testify against me and accuse me of crimes I know nothing about.H2555H5707H6965H7592H3045
12They pay me back evil for good, and I sink in despair.H7999H7451H2896H7908H5315
13But when they were sick, I dressed in mourning; I deprived myself of food; I prayed with my head bowed low,H2470H3830H8242H6031H5315H6685H8605H7725H2436
14as I would pray for a friend or a brother. I went around bent over in mourning, as one who mourns for his mother.H1980H7453H251H7817H6937H57H517
15But when I was in trouble, they were all glad and gathered around to make fun of me; strangers beat me and kept striking me.H6761H8055H622H5222H622H3045H7167H1826
16Like those who would mock a cripple, they glared at me with hate.H2611H3934H4580H2786H8127
17How much longer, Lord, will you just look on? Rescue me from their attacks; save my life from these lions!H136H7200H7725H5315H7722H3173H3715
18Then I will thank you in the assembly of your people; I will praise you before them all.H3034H7227H6951H1984H6099H5971
19Don't let my enemies, those liars, gloat over my defeat. Don't let those who hate me for no reason smirk with delight over my sorrow.H341H8267H8055H7169H5869H8130H2600
20They do not speak in a friendly way; instead they invent all kinds of lies about peace-loving people.H1696H7965H2803H4820H1697H7282H776
21They accuse me, shouting, "We saw what you did!"H6310H7337H559H1889H1889H5869H7200
22But you, O LORD, have seen this. So don't be silent, Lord; don't keep yourself far away!H7200H3068H2790H136H7368
23Rouse yourself, O Lord, and defend me; rise up, my God, and plead my cause.H5782H6974H4941H7379H430H136
24You are righteous, O LORD, so declare me innocent; don't let my enemies gloat over me.H8199H3068H430H6664H8055
25Don't let them say to themselves, "We are rid of him! That's just what we wanted!"H559H3820H1889H5315H559H1104
26May those who gloat over my suffering be completely defeated and confused; may those who claim to be better than I am be covered with shame and disgrace.H954H2659H3162H8056H7451H3847H1322H3639H1431
27May those who want to see me acquitted shout for joy and say again and again, "How great is the LORD! He is pleased with the success of his servant."H7442H8055H2655H6664H559H8548H3068H1431H2655H7965H5650
28Then I will proclaim your righteousness, and I will praise you all day long.H3956H1897H6664H8416H3117
