Psalm 35:1-6
English Standard Version
Great Is the Lord
Of David.
35 Contend, O Lord, with those who (A)contend with me;
(B)fight against those who fight against me!
2 Take hold of (C)shield and buckler
and rise for my help!
3 Draw the spear and javelin[a]
against my pursuers!
Say to my soul,
“I am your salvation!”
4 (D)Let them be (E)put to shame and dishonor
who seek after my life!
Let them be (F)turned back and disappointed
who devise evil against me!
5 Let them be like (G)chaff before the wind,
with the angel of the Lord driving them away!
6 Let their way be dark and (H)slippery,
with the angel of the Lord pursuing them!

O Lord, (C)be not far from me!
23 Awake and (D)rouse yourself for (E)my vindication,
for my cause, my God and my Lord!
24 (F)Vindicate me, O Lord, my God,
according to your righteousness,

shout for joy and be glad
(M)and say evermore,

who (O)delights in the welfare of his servant!”
28 Then my (P)tongue shall tell of your righteousness
and of your praise all the day long.
