Psalm 35

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (34-1) <For David himself.> Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.

2 (34-2) Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.

3 (34-3) Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.

4 (34-4) Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise evil against me.

5 (34-5) Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.

6 (34-6) Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.

7 (34-7) For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.

8 (34-8) Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.

9 (34-9) But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.

10 (34-10) All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.

11 (34-11) Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.

12 (34-12) They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.

13 (34-13) But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.

14 (34-14) As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.

15 (34-15) But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.

16 (34-16) They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

17 (34-17) Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou my soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.

18 (34-18) I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.

19 (34-19) Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.

20 (34-20) For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.

21 (34-21) And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.

22 (34-22) Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.

23 (34-23) Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.

24 (34-24) Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.

25 (34-25) Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.

26 (34-26) Let them blush: and be ashamed to gether, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.

27 (34-27) Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.

28 (34-28) And my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.

New Living Translation NLT

1 O LORD, oppose those who oppose me. Fight those who fight against me.

2 Put on your armor, and take up your shield. Prepare for battle, and come to my aid.

3 Lift up your spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Let me hear you say, “I will give you victory!”

4 Bring shame and disgrace on those trying to kill me; turn them back and humiliate those who want to harm me.

5 Blow them away like chaff in the wind— a wind sent by the angel of the LORD .

6 Make their path dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.

7 I did them no wrong, but they laid a trap for me. I did them no wrong, but they dug a pit to catch me.

8 So let sudden ruin come upon them! Let them be caught in the trap they set for me! Let them be destroyed in the pit they dug for me.

9 Then I will rejoice in the LORD . I will be glad because he rescues me.

10 With every bone in my body I will praise him: “ LORD, who can compare with you? Who else rescues the helpless from the strong? Who else protects the helpless and poor from those who rob them?”

11 Malicious witnesses testify against me. They accuse me of crimes I know nothing about.

12 They repay me evil for good. I am sick with despair.

13 Yet when they were ill, I grieved for them. I denied myself by fasting for them, but my prayers returned unanswered.

14 I was sad, as though they were my friends or family, as if I were grieving for my own mother.

15 But they are glad now that I am in trouble; they gleefully join together against me. I am attacked by people I don’t even know; they slander me constantly.

16 They mock me and call me names; they snarl at me.

17 How long, O Lord, will you look on and do nothing? Rescue me from their fierce attacks. Protect my life from these lions!

18 Then I will thank you in front of the great assembly. I will praise you before all the people.

19 Don’t let my treacherous enemies rejoice over my defeat. Don’t let those who hate me without cause gloat over my sorrow.

20 They don’t talk of peace; they plot against innocent people who mind their own business.

21 They shout, “Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we saw him do it!”

22 O LORD, you know all about this. Do not stay silent. Do not abandon me now, O Lord.

23 Wake up! Rise to my defense! Take up my case, my God and my Lord.

24 Declare me not guilty, O LORD my God, for you give justice. Don’t let my enemies laugh about me in my troubles.

25 Don’t let them say, “Look, we got what we wanted! Now we will eat him alive!”

26 May those who rejoice at my troubles be humiliated and disgraced. May those who triumph over me be covered with shame and dishonor.

27 But give great joy to those who came to my defense. Let them continually say, “Great is the LORD, who delights in blessing his servant with peace!”

28 Then I will proclaim your justice, and I will praise you all day long.
