Salmos 35:23-28

23 ¡Despierta! ¡Levántate en mi defensa!
Toma mi caso, Dios mío y Señor mío.

24 Declárame inocente, oh Señor
mi Dios, porque tú haces justicia;
no permitas que mis enemigos se rían de mí en mis dificultades.

25 No les permitas decir: «¡Miren, conseguimos lo que queríamos!
¡Ahora lo comeremos vivo!».

26 Que sean humillados y avergonzados
los que se alegran de mis dificultades;
que sean cubiertos de vergüenza y de deshonra
los que triunfan sobre mí.

27 Pero dales mucha alegría a los que vinieron a defenderme;
que todo el tiempo digan: «¡Grande es el Señor
,
quien se deleita en bendecir a su siervo con paz!».

28 Entonces proclamaré tu justicia
y te alabaré todo el día.

Salmos 35:23-28 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.
