A Psalm of DavidH1732. PleadH7378 my cause, O LORDH3068, with them that striveH3401 with me: fightH3898 against them that fightH3898 against me.
Take holdH2388 of shieldH4043 and bucklerH6793, and stand upH6965 for mine helpH5833.
Draw outH7324 also the spearH2595, and stopH5462 the way againstH7125 them that persecuteH7291 me: sayH559 unto my soulH5315, I am thy salvationH3444.
Let them be confoundedH954 and put to shameH3637 that seekH1245 after my soulH5315: let them be turnedH5472 backH268 and brought to confusionH2659 that deviseH2803 my hurtH7451.
Let them be as chaffH4671 beforeH6440 the windH7307: and let the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 chaseH1760 them.
Let their wayH1870 be darkH2822 and slipperyH2519: and let the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 persecuteH7291 them. {dark…: Heb. darkness and slipperiness}
For without causeH2600 have they hidH2934 for me their netH7568 in a pitH7845, which without causeH2600 they have diggedH2658 for my soulH5315.
Let destructionH7722 comeH935 upon him at unawaresH3045+H3808; and let his netH7568 that he hath hidH2934 catchH3920 himself: into that very destructionH7722 let him fallH5307. {at…: Heb. which he knoweth not of}
And my soulH5315 shall be joyfulH1523 in the LORDH3068: it shall rejoiceH7797 in his salvationH3444.
All my bonesH6106 shall sayH559, LORDH3068, who is like unto thee, which deliverestH5337 the poorH6041 from him that is too strongH2389 for him, yea, the poorH6041 and the needyH34 from him that spoilethH1497 him?
FalseH2555 witnessesH5707 did rise upH6965; they laid to my chargeH7592 things that I knewH3045 not. {False…: Heb. Witnesses of wrong} {they…: Heb. they asked me}
They rewardedH7999 me evilH7451 for goodH2896 to the spoilingH7908 of my soulH5315. {spoiling: Heb. depriving}
But as for me, when they were sickH2470, my clothingH3830 was sackclothH8242: I humbledH6031 my soulH5315 with fastingH6685; and my prayerH8605 returnedH7725 into mine own bosomH2436. {humbled: or, afflicted}
I behavedH1980 myself as though he had been my friendH7453 or brotherH251: I bowed downH7817 heavilyH6937, as one that mournethH57 for his motherH517. {behaved myself: Heb. walked} {as though…: Heb. as a friend, as a brother to me}
But in mine adversityH6761 they rejoicedH8055, and gathered themselves togetherH622: yea, the abjectsH5222 gathered themselves togetherH622 against me, and I knewH3045 it not; they did tearH7167 me, and ceasedH1826 not: {adversity: Heb. halting}
With hypocriticalH2611 mockersH3934 in feastsH4580, they gnashedH2786 upon me with their teethH8127.
LordH136, how long wilt thou look onH7200? rescueH7725 my soulH5315 from their destructionsH7722, my darlingH3173 from the lionsH3715. {darling: Heb. only one}
I will give thee thanksH3034 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: I will praiseH1984 thee among muchH6099 peopleH5971. {much: Heb. strong}
Let not them that are mine enemiesH341 wrongfullyH8267 rejoiceH8055 over me: neither let them winkH7169 with the eyeH5869 that hateH8130 me without a causeH2600. {wrongfully: Heb. falsely}
For they speakH1696 not peaceH7965: but they deviseH2803 deceitfulH4820 mattersH1697 against them that are quietH7282 in the landH776.
Yea, they opened their mouthH6310 wideH7337 against me, and saidH559, AhaH1889, ahaH1889, our eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 it.
This thou hast seenH7200, O LORDH3068: keep not silenceH2790: O LordH136, be not farH7368 from me.
Stir upH5782 thyself, and awakeH6974 to my judgmentH4941, even unto my causeH7379, my GodH430 and my LordH136.
JudgeH8199 me, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, according to thy righteousnessH6664; and let them not rejoiceH8055 over me.
Let them not sayH559 in their heartsH3820, AhH1889, so would we have itH5315: let them not sayH559, We have swallowed him upH1104. {Ah…: Heb. Ah, ah, our soul}
Let them be ashamedH954 and brought to confusionH2659 togetherH3162 that rejoiceH8056 at mine hurtH7451: let them be clothedH3847 with shameH1322 and dishonourH3639 that magnifyH1431 themselves against me.
Let them shout for joyH7442, and be gladH8055, that favourH2655 my righteous causeH6664: yea, let them sayH559 continuallyH8548, Let the LORDH3068 be magnifiedH1431, which hath pleasureH2655 in the prosperityH7965 of his servantH5650. {righteous…: Heb. righteousness}
And my tongueH3956 shall speakH1897 of thy righteousnessH6664 and of thy praiseH8416 all the dayH3117 long.
