Psalms 35

35
PSALM 35
1 To David. [The psalm of David.] Lord, deem thou them, that annoy me; overcome thou them, that fight against me.
2Take thou armours and shield; and rise up into help to me.
3Hold out the sword, and close altogether the way against them that pursue me; say thou to my soul, I am thine health.
4They that seek my life; be shamed, and ashamed. They that think evils to me; be turned away backward, and be they shamed.
5Be they made as dust before the face of the wind; and the angel of the Lord make them strait.
6Their way be made darkness, and sliderness; and the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7For without cause they hid to me the death of their snare; in vain they despised my soul.
8The snare which he knoweth not come to him, and the taking which he hid take him; and fall he into the snare in that thing.
9But my soul shall fully have joy in the Lord; and shall delight on his health.
10All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like thee? Thou deliverest a poor man from the hand of his stronger; a needy man and poor from them that diversely ravish him.
11Wicked witnesses rising asked me things, which I knew not.
12They yielded to me evils for goods; barrenness to my soul.
13But when they were dis-easeful to me; I was clothed in an hair-shirt. I meeked my soul in fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
14I pleased so as our neighbour, as our brother; I was made meek, so as mourning and sorrowful.
15And they were glad, and came together against me; torments were gathered on me, and I knew it not. They were scattered, and not compunct;
16they tempted me, they scorned me with mocking, they gnashed on me with their teeth.
17Lord, when thou shalt behold, restore thou my soul from the wicked-ness of them; mine one alone from lions.
18I shall acknowledge to thee in a great church; I shall praise thee in a firm people.
19They that be adversaries wickedly to me, have not joy on me; that hate me without cause, and beckon with eyes.
20For soothly they spake not peace-ably to me; and they speaking in wrath-fulness of [the] earth, thought guiles.
21And they made large their mouth on me; they said, Well, well! our eyes have seen.
22Lord, thou hast seen, be thou not still; Lord, depart thou not from me.
23Rise up, and give attention to my doom; my God and my Lord, behold into my cause.
24My Lord God, deem thou me by thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness]; and have they not joy on me.
25Say they not in their hearts, Well, well, to our soul; neither say they, We shall devour him.
26Shame they, and dread they together; that joy for mine evils. Be they clothed with shame and dread; that speak evil things on me.
27Have they full joy, and be they glad, that will or desire my rightful-ness [or rightwiseness]; and say they ever[more], The Lord be magnified, which desire the peace of his servant.
28And my tongue shall bethink thy rightfulness [or rightwiseness]; all day thy praising.
