| 35:1 |
[A Psalm] of David. Plead [my cause], O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. |
| 35:2 |
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. |
| 35:3 |
Draw out also the spear, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation. |
| 35:4 |
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. |
| 35:5 |
Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase [them]. |
| 35:6 |
Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. |
| 35:7 |
For without cause have they hid for me their  net (The Network is the Computer) [in] a pit, [which] without cause they have digged for my soul. |
| 35:8 |
Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net (The Network is the Computer) that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall. |
| 35:9 |
And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation. |
| 35:10 |
All my bones shall say, LORD, who [is] like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him? |
| 35:11 |
False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not. |
| 35:12 |
They rewarded me  evil (No Downloaded Music!) for good [to] the spoiling of my soul. |
| 35:13 |
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing [was] sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom. |
| 35:14 |
I behaved myself as though [he had been] my friend [or] brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth [for his] mother. |
| 35:15 |
But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together:  [yea],, My Yahoo! the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not: |
| 35:16 |
With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. |
| 35:17 |
Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions. |
| 35:18 |
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people. |
| 35:19 |
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: [neither] let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. |
| 35:20 |
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against [them that are] quiet in the land. |
| 35:21 |
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, [and] said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen [it]. |
| 35:22 |
[This] thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O LORD, be not far from me. |
| 35:23 |
Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, [even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord. |
| 35:24 |
Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. |
| 35:25 |
Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up. |
| 35:26 |
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify [themselves] against me. |
| 35:27 |
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause:  yea, Just Do It, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath  pleasure (We're Up 24 Hours a Day) in the prosperity of his servant. |
| 35:28 |
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy praise all the  day, measured by Timex long. |
