Salmos 35

1 Strive thou, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me:

2 Take hold of shield and buckler,

3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me:

4 Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul:

5 Let them be as chaff before the wind,

6 Let their way be dark and slippery,

7 For without cause have they hid for me their net

8 Let destruction come upon him unawares;

9 And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah:

10 All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee,

11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up;

12 They reward me evil for good,

13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth:

14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother:

15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together:

16 Like the profane mockers in feasts,

17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on?

18 I will give thee thanks in the great assembly:

19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me;

20 For they speak not peace;

21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me;

22 Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence:

23 Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice

24 Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness;

25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it:

26 Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt:

27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause:

28 And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness
