Psalm 35:1-10
Psalm 35
A psalm of David.
Lord, stand up against those who stand up against me.
Fight against those who fight against me.
Pick up your shield and your armor.
Rise up and help me.
Get your spear and javelin ready to fight
against those who are chasing me.
Say to me, “I will save you.”
Let those who are trying to kill me
be brought down in dishonor.
Let those who plan to destroy me
be turned back in terror.
Let them be like straw blowing in the wind,
while the angel of the Lord drives them away.
Let their path be dark and slippery,
while the angel of the Lord chases them.
They set a trap for me without any reason.
Without any reason they dug a pit to catch me.
So let them be destroyed without warning.
Let the trap they set for me catch them.
Let them fall into the pit and be destroyed.
Then I will be full of joy because of what the Lord has done.
I will be glad because he has saved me.
My whole being will cry out,
“Who is like you, Lord?
You save poor people from those who are too strong for them.
You save poor and needy people from those who rob them.”
