1 Strive, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me:
1Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help;
2The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
3 And draw out the spear, and stop [the way] against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
3For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
4 Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek after my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that devise my hurt:
4The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of Jehovah drive [them] away;
5He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of Jehovah pursue them.
6O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.
7 For without cause have they hidden for me their net [in] a pit; without cause they have digged [it] for my soul.
7Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:
8 Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net which he hath hidden catch himself: for destruction let him fall therein.
8O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the cover of thy wings.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah; it shall rejoice in his salvation.
9They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
10 All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the afflicted from one stronger than he, yea, the afflicted and the needy from him that spoileth him!
10For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.
11Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
12 They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereavement of my soul.
12Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I chastened my soul with fasting, and my prayer returned into mine own bosom:
13There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
14 I behaved myself as though [he had been] a friend, a brother to me; I bowed down in sadness, as one that mourneth [for] a mother.
14(not in this translation)
15 But at my halting they rejoiced, and gathered together: the slanderers gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; they did tear [me], and ceased not:
15(not in this translation)
16 With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth against me.
16(not in this translation)
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, my only one from the young lions.
17(not in this translation)
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise thee among much people.
18(not in this translation)
19 Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; let them not wink with the eye that hate me without cause.
19(not in this translation)
20 For they speak not peace; and they devise deceitful words against the quiet in the land.
20(not in this translation)
21 And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said, Aha! aha! our eye hath seen [it].
21(not in this translation)
22 Thou hast seen [it], Jehovah: keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.
22(not in this translation)
23 Stir up thyself, and awake for my right, for my cause, myGod and Lord!
23(not in this translation)
24 Judge me, Jehovah myGod, according to thy righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me.
24(not in this translation)
25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha! so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
25(not in this translation)
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine adversity; let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
