Chapter 34

1


 

  For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me : overthrow them that fight against me.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Take hold of arms and shield : and rise up to help me.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me : say to my soul : I am thy salvation.  

 

 

--

4


 

  Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Let them become as dust before the wind : and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.  

 

 

--

7


 

  For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction : without cause they have upbraided my soul.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him : and let the net which he hath hidden catch him : and let the net which he hath hidden catch him : and into that very snare let them fall.  

 

 

--

9


 

  But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.  

 

 

--

10


 

  All my bones shall say : Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.  

 

 

--

12


 

  They repaid me evil for good : to the depriving me of my soul.  

 

 

--

13


 

  But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.  

 

 

--

14


 

  As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please : as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.  

 

 

--

15


 

  But they rejoiced against me, and came together : scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.  

 

 

--

16


 

  They were separated, and repented not : they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn : they gnashed upon me with their teeth.  

 

 

--

17


 

  Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice : my only one from the lions.  

 

 

--

18


 

  I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me : who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.  

 

 

--

20


 

  For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.  

 

 

--

21


 

  And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said : Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent : O Lord, depart not from me.  

 

 

--

23


 

  Arise, and be attentive to my judgment : to my cause, my God, and my Lord.  

 

 

--

24


 

  Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.  

 

 

--

25


 

  Let them not say in their hearts : It is well, it is well, to our mind : neither let them say : We have swallowed him up.  

 

 

--

26


 

  Let them blush : and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.  

 

 

--

27


 

  Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always : The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.  

 

 

--

28


 

  Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
