- 1. By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
- 2. Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
- 3. And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, `Thy salvation I `am'.'
- 4. They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
- 5. They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
- 6. Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
- 7. For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
- 8. Meet him doth desolation -- he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
- 9. And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
- 10. All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
- 11. Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
- 12. They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
- 13. And I -- in their sickness my clothing `is' sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
- 14. As `if' a friend, as `if' my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
- 15. And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
- 16. With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
- 17. Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
- 18. I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
- 19. Mine enemies rejoice not over me `with' falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
- 20. For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
- 21. And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
- 22. Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord -- be not far from me,
- 23. Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
- 24. Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
- 25. They do not say in their heart, `Aha, our desire.' They do not say, `We swallowed him up.'
- 26. They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
- 27. They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, `Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'
- 28. And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
