Awit 35
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
35 Awayin mo, Oh Panginoon, silang nagsisiaway sa akin: lumaban ka sa kanila na nagsisilaban sa akin.
2 Humawak ka ng kalasag at ng longki, at tumayo ka na pinaka tulong sa akin.
3 Kumuha ka rin naman ng sibat, at tumigil ka sa daan laban sa kanila na nagsisihabol sa akin: sabihin mo sa aking kaluluwa, Ako'y iyong kaligtasan.
4 Mangahiya nawa sila, at madala sa kasiraang puri ang nagsisiusig sa aking kaluluwa: mangapabalik sila, at mangalito silang nagsisikatha ng aking kapahamakan.
5 Maging gaya nawa sila ng ipa sa unahan ng hangin, at itaboy sila ng anghel ng Panginoon.
6 Maging madilim nawa, at madulas ang kanilang daan, at habulin sila ng anghel ng Panginoon.
7 Sapagka't walang kadahilanan ay ipinagkubli nila ako ng kanilang silo sa hukay, walang kadahilanan ay nagsihukay sila para sa aking kaluluwa.
8 Dumating nawa sa kaniya ng walang anoano ang pagkapahamak; at hulihin nawa siya ng kaniyang silo na kaniyang ikinubli: mahulog nawa siya sa ikapapahamak niya.
9 At ang aking kaluluwa ay magagalak sa Panginoon: magagalak na mainam sa kaniyang pagliligtas.
10 Lahat ng aking mga buto ay magsasabi, Panginoon, sino ang gaya mo, na inililigtas ang dukha doon sa totoong malakas kay sa kaniya, Oo, ang dukha at ang mapagkailangan sa sumasamsam sa kaniya?
11 Mga saksing masasama ay nagsisitayo; sila'y nangagtatanong sa akin ng mga bagay na di ko nalalaman.
12 Iginaganti nila sa akin ay kasamaan sa mabuti, sa pagpapaulila ng aking kaluluwa.
13 Nguni't tungkol sa akin, nang sila'y may sakit, ang aking suot ay magaspang na kayo: aking pinagdalamhati ang aking kaluluwa ng pagaayuno; at ang aking dalangin ay nagbabalik sa aking sariling sinapupunan.
14 Ako'y nagasal na tila aking kaibigan o aking kapatid: ako'y yumuyukong tumatangis na tila iniiyakan ang kaniyang ina.
15 Nguni't pagka ako'y natisod sila'y nangagagalak, at nagpipisan: ang mga uslak ay nagpipisan laban sa akin, at hindi ko nalaman;
16 Gaya ng mga nanunuyang suwail sa mga kapistahan, kanilang pinagngangalit sa akin ang kanilang mga ngipin.
17 Panginoon, hanggang kailan titingin ka? Iligtas mo ang aking kaluluwa sa kanilang mga pagsira, ang aking sinta mula sa mga leon.
18 Ako'y magpapasalamat sa iyo sa dakilang kapisanan: aking pupurihin ka sa gitna ng maraming tao.
19 Huwag magalak sa akin na may kamalian ang aking mga kaaway; ni magkindat man ng mata ang nangagtatanim sa akin ng walang kadahilanan.
20 Sapagka't sila'y hindi nangagsasalita ng kapayapaan: kundi sila'y nagsisikatha ng mga magdarayang salita laban sa mga tahimik sa lupain.
21 Oo, kanilang ibinuka ng maluwang ang kanilang bibig laban sa akin; kanilang sinasabi: Aha, aha, nakita ng aming mata.
22 Iyong nakita ito, Oh Panginoon; huwag kang tumahimik, Oh Panginoon, huwag kang lumayo sa akin.
23 Kumilos ka, at ikaw ay gumising upang gawan ako ng kahatulan, sa aking usap, Dios ko at Panginoon ko.
24 Hatulan mo ako, Oh Panginoon kong Dios, ayon sa iyong katuwiran; at huwag mo silang pagalakin sa akin.
25 Huwag silang magsabi sa kanilang sarili: Aha, nasa namin: huwag silang magsabi: Aming sinakmal siya.
26 Mangapahiya nawa sila, at mangalito na magkakasama ang mga nangagalak sa aking pagkapahamak: manganamit nawa ng kahihiyan at kasiraang puri ang nangagmamalaki laban sa akin.
27 Magsihiyaw nawa ng kagalakan, at mangasayahan, ang nagsisilingap ng aking katuwiran: Oo, mangagsabi nawa silang palagi: Dakilain ang Panginoon, na nalulugod sa kaginhawahan ng kaniyang lingkod.
28 At ang aking dila ay mangungusap ng iyong katuwiran, at ng pagpuri sa iyo sa buong araw.
Psalm 35
New King James Version
The Lord the Avenger of His People
A Psalm of David.
35 Plead[a] my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me;
Fight against those who fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and [b]buckler,
And stand up for my help.
3 Also draw out the spear,
And stop those who pursue me.
Say to my soul,
“I am your salvation.”
4 (A)Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor
Who seek after my life;
Let those be (B)turned back and brought to confusion
Who plot my hurt.
5 (C)Let them be like chaff before the wind,
And let the [c]angel of the Lord chase them.
6 Let their way be (D)dark and slippery,
And let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7 For without cause they have (E)hidden their net for me in a pit,
Which they have dug without cause for my life.
8 [d]Let (F)destruction come upon him unexpectedly,
And let his net that he has hidden catch himself;
Into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord;
It shall rejoice in His salvation.
10 (G)All my bones shall say,
“Lord, (H)who is like You,
Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him,
Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?”
11 Fierce witnesses rise up;
They ask me things that I do not know.
12 (I)They reward me evil for good,
To the sorrow of my soul.
13 But as for me, (J)when they were sick,
My clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled myself with fasting;
And my prayer would return to my own [e]heart.
14 I paced about as though he were my friend or brother;
I bowed down [f]heavily, as one who mourns for his mother.
15 But in my [g]adversity they rejoiced
And gathered together;
Attackers gathered against me,
And I did not know it;
They tore at me and did not cease;
16 With ungodly mockers at feasts
They gnashed at me with their teeth.
17 Lord, how long will You (K)look on?
Rescue me from their destructions,
My precious life from the lions.
18 I will give You thanks in the great assembly;
I will praise You among [h]many people.
19 (L)Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies;
Nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without a cause.
20 For they do not speak peace,
But they devise deceitful matters
Against the quiet ones in the land.
21 They also opened their mouth wide against me,
And said, “Aha, aha!
Our eyes have seen it.”
22 This You have seen, O Lord;
Do not keep silence.
O Lord, do not be far from me.
23 Stir up Yourself, and awake to my vindication,
To my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Vindicate me, O Lord my God, according to Your righteousness;
And let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, “Ah, so we would have it!”
Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up.”
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
Who rejoice at my hurt;
Let them be (M)clothed with shame and dishonor
Who exalt themselves against me.
27 (N)Let them shout for joy and be glad,
Who favor my righteous cause;
And let them say continually,
“Let the Lord be magnified,
Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”
28 And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness
And of Your praise all the day long.

Young's Literal Translation
35 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!
