V.1 <[A Psalm] of David.> 1732 Plead 7378-3 [my cause], O LORD, 3068 with them that strive 3401 with me: fight 3898-3 against them that fight 3898-6 against me.

35:2 Take hold 2388-54 of shield 4043 and buckler, 6793 and stand up 6965-3 for mine help. 5833

35:3 Draw out 7324-54 also the spear, 2595 and stop 5462-3 [the way] against 7125-2 them that persecute 7291-6 me: say 559-3 unto my soul, 5315 I [am] thy salvation. 3444

35:4 Let them be confounded 954-4 and put to shame 3637-11 that seek 1245-18 after my soul: 5315 let them be turned 5472-11 back 268 and brought to confusion 2659-4 that devise 2803-6 my hurt. 7451

35:5 Let them be as chaff 4671 before 6440 the wind: 7307 and let the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 chase 1760-6 [them].

35:6 Let their way 1870 be dark 2822 and slippery: 2519 and let the angel 4397 of the LORD 3068 persecute 7291-6 them.

35:7 For without cause 2600 have they hid 2934-1 for me their net 7568 [in] a pit, 7845 [which] without cause 2600 they have digged 2658-1 for my soul. 5315

35:8 Let destruction 7722 come 935-4 upon him at unawares; 3045-4 3808 and let his net 7568 that he hath hid 2934-1 catch 3920-4 himself: into that very destruction 7722 let him fall. 5307-4

35:9 And my soul 5315 shall be joyful 1523-4 in the LORD: 3068 it shall rejoice 7797-4 in his salvation. 3444

35:10 All my bones 6106 shall say, 559-4 LORD, 3068 who [is] like unto thee, which deliverest 5337-56 the poor 6041 from him that is too strong 2389 for him, yea, the poor 6041 and the needy 34 from him that spoileth 1497-6 him?

35:11 False 2555 witnesses 5707 did rise up; 6965-4 they laid to my charge 7592-4 [things] that I knew 3045-1 not.

35:12 They rewarded 7999-17 me evil 7451 for good 2896 [to] the spoiling 7908 of my soul. 5315

35:13 But as for me, when they were sick, 2470-2 my clothing 3830 [was] sackcloth: 8242 I humbled 6031-14 my soul 5315 with fasting; 6685 and my prayer 8605 returned 7725-4 into mine own bosom. 2436

35:14 I behaved 1980-98 myself as though [he had been] my friend 7453 [or] brother: 251 I bowed down 7817-1 heavily, 6937-6 as one that mourneth 57 [for his] mother. 517

35:15 But in mine adversity 6761 they rejoiced, 8055-1 and gathered 622-8 themselves together: [yea], the abjects 5222 gathered 622-8 themselves together against me, and I knew 3045-1 [it] not; they did tear 7167-1 [me], and ceased 1826-1 not:

35:16 With hypocritical 2611 mockers 3934 in feasts, 4580 they gnashed 2786-2 upon me with their teeth. 8127

35:17 Lord, 136 how long wilt thou look on? 7200-4 rescue 7725-54 my soul 5315 from their destructions, 7722 my darling 3173 from the lions. 3715

35:18 I will give thee thanks 3034-55 in the great 7227 congregation: 6951 I will praise 1984-17 thee among much 6099 people. 5971

35:19 Let not them that are mine enemies 341-6 wrongfully 8267 rejoice 8055-4 over me: [neither] let them wink 7169-4 with the eye 5869 that hate 8130-6 me without a cause. 2600

35:20 For they speak 1696-17 not peace: 7965 but they devise 2803-4 deceitful 4820 matters 1697 against [them that are] quiet 7282 in the land. 776

35:21 Yea, they opened their mouth 6310 wide 7337-55 against me, [and] said, 559-1 Aha, 1889 aha, 1889 our eye 5869 hath seen 7200-1 [it].

35:22 [This] thou hast seen, 7200-1 O LORD: 3068 keep not silence: 2790-4 O Lord, 136 be not far 7368-4 from me.

35:23 Stir up 5782-54 thyself, and awake 6974-54 to my judgment, 4941 [even] unto my cause, 7379 my God 430 and my Lord. 136

35:24 Judge 8199-3 me, O LORD 3068 my God, 430 according to thy righteousness; 6664 and let them not rejoice 8055-4 over me.

35:25 Let them not say 559-4 in their hearts, 3820 Ah, 1889 so would we have it: 5315 let them not say, 559-4 We have swallowed him up. 1104-14

35:26 Let them be ashamed 954-4 and brought to confusion 2659-4 together 3162 that rejoice 8056 at mine hurt: 7451 let them be clothed 3847-4 with shame 1322 and dishonour 3639 that magnify 1431-56 [themselves] against me.

35:27 Let them shout for joy, 7442-4 and be glad, 8055-4 that favour 2655 my righteous cause: 6664 yea, let them say 559-4 continually, 8548 Let the LORD 3068 be magnified, 1431-4 which hath pleasure 2655 in the prosperity 7965 of his servant. 5650
