Psalm 35:1-9
New Living Translation

Psalm 35

A psalm of David.

1 O Lord, oppose those who oppose me.
    Fight those who fight against me.
2 Put on your armor, and take up your shield.
    Prepare for battle, and come to my aid.
3 Lift up your spear and javelin
    against those who pursue me.
Let me hear you say,
    “I will give you victory!”
4 Bring shame and disgrace on those trying to kill me;
    turn them back and humiliate those who want to harm me.
5 Blow them away like chaff in the wind—
    a wind sent by the angel of the Lord.
6 Make their path dark and slippery,
    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.
7 I did them no wrong, but they laid a trap for me.
    I did them no wrong, but they dug a pit to catch me.
8 So let sudden ruin come upon them!
    Let them be caught in the trap they set for me!
    Let them be destroyed in the pit they dug for me.

9 Then I will rejoice in the Lord.
    I will be glad because he rescues me.

Psalm 35:1-9
New International Version

Psalm 35

Of David.

1 Contend,(A) Lord, with those who contend with me;
    fight(B) against those who fight against me.
2 Take up shield(C) and armor;
    arise(D) and come to my aid.(E)
3 Brandish spear(F) and javelin[a](G)
    against those who pursue me.
Say to me,
    “I am your salvation.(H)”

4 May those who seek my life(I)
    be disgraced(J) and put to shame;(K)
may those who plot my ruin
    be turned back(L) in dismay.
5 May they be like chaff(M) before the wind,
    with the angel of the Lord(N) driving them away;
6 may their path be dark and slippery,
    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

7 Since they hid their net(O) for me without cause(P)
    and without cause dug a pit(Q) for me,
8 may ruin overtake them by surprise—(R)
    may the net they hid entangle them,
    may they fall into the pit,(S) to their ruin.
9 Then my soul will rejoice(T) in the Lord
    and delight in his salvation.(U)
