Salmos 35:1-7

1 De David. Disputa, oh SEÑOR, con los que contra mí contienden; pelea con los que me combaten.

2 Echa mano al escudo y al pavés, y levántate en mi ayuda.

3 Saca la lanza, cierra contra mis perseguidores; di a mi alma: Yo soy tu salud.

4 Sean avergonzados y confundidos los que buscan mi alma; vuelvan atrás, y sean avergonzados los que mi mal piensan.

5 Sean como el tamo delante del viento; y el ángel del SEÑOR los acose.

6 Sea su camino oscuridad y resbaladeros; y el ángel del SEÑOR el que los persiga.

7 Porque sin causa escondieron para mí el hoyo de su red; sin causa hicieron hoyo para mi alma.

Salmos 35:1-7 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.
