Salmos 35:1-8

1 Combate, oh SEÑOR, a los que me combaten; ataca a los que me atacan.

2 Echa mano del broquely del escudo, y levántate en mi ayuda.

3 Empuña también la lanza y el hacha para enfrentarte a los que me persiguen; di a mi alma: Yo soy tu salvación.

4 Sean avergonzados y confundidos los que buscan mi vida; sean puestos en fuga y humillados los que traman el mal contra mí.

5 Sean como paja delante del viento, con el ángel del SEÑOR acosándolos.

6 Sea su camino tenebroso y resbaladizo, con el ángel del SEÑOR persiguiéndolos.

7 Porque sin causa me tendieron su red; sin causa cavaron fosa para mi alma.

8 Que venga destrucción sobre él sin darse cuenta, y la red que él mismo tendió lo prenda, ¡que caiga en esa misma destrucción!

Salmos 35:1-8 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 35

\\<<[A Psalm] of David>>\\. This psalm seems to have been written by David, when he was persecuted by Saul; and when many false charges were brought against him by his courtiers; and when he was the scorn and derision of the people; the subject of it is pretty much of the same kind with the seventh psalm, and might be written about the same time that was, and on the same occasion; and it may be applied to the church and people of God in like cases. There is a passage in it, Ps 35:19, which our Lord seems to refer to and apply to himself, Joh 15:25; and some interpret the whole of it concerning him. The Arabic version calls it a prophecy of the incarnation; though there does not appear any thing in it applicable to that.
