1Strive thou, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me: Fight thou against them that fight against me.
1Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself.
1By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
1 Strive, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me:
2Take 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.
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help;
3Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
3For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
3And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, `Thy salvation I <FI>am<Fi> .'
3 And draw out the spear, and stop [the way] against my pursuers: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul: Let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.
4The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.
4They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
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:
5Let them be as chaff before the wind, And the angel of Jehovah drivingthemon.
5He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
5They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of Jehovah drive [them] away;
6Let their way be dark and slippery, And the angel of Jehovah pursuing them.
6O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.
6Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of Jehovah pursue them.
7For without cause have they hid for me their netina pit; Without cause have they digged a pit 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:
7For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
7 For without cause have they hidden for me their net [in] a pit; without cause they have digged [it] for my soul.
8Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With 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.
8Meet him doth desolation--he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
8 Let destruction come upon him unawares, and let his net which he hath hidden catch himself: for destruction let him fall therein.
9And 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.
9And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah; it shall rejoice in his salvation.
10All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?
10For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
10All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
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!
11Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not.
11Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
11Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they lay to my charge things which I know not.
12They reward me evil for good, Tothe bereaving of my soul.
12Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
12They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
12 They reward me evil for good, [to] the bereavement of my soul.
13But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted 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.
13And I--in their sickness my clothing <FI>is<Fi> sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
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:
14I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.

16Like the profane mockers in feasts, They gnashed upon me with their teeth.
16(not in this translation)
16With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
16 With profane jesters for bread, they have gnashed their teeth against me.
