Psalm 35
King James Version
35 Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid 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 All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

Ang Biblia, 2001
Panalangin para sa Saklolo
35 Makipagtunggali ka, O Panginoon, sa kanila na nakikipagtunggali sa akin;
lumaban ka sa kanila na lumalaban sa akin.
2 Humawak ka ng kalasag at ng panangga,
at sa pagtulong sa akin ay tumindig ka!
3 Ihagis mo ang sibat at diyabelin
laban sa mga nagsisihabol sa akin!
Sabihin mo sa aking kaluluwa,
“Ako'y iyong kaligtasan!”
4 Mapahiya nawa at mawalan ng dangal
sila na umuusig sa aking buhay!
Nawa'y mapaurong at malito sila
na laban sa akin at nagbabalak ng masama!
5 Maging gaya nawa sila ng ipa sa harapan ng hangin,
na ang anghel ng Panginoon ang nagtataboy sa kanila!
6 Nawa'y maging madilim at madulas ang daan nila,
na ang anghel ng Panginoon ang humahabol sa kanila!
7 Sapagkat walang kadahilanang ikinubli nila ang kanilang bitag na sa akin ay laan,
walang kadahilanang naghukay sila para sa aking buhay.
8 Dumating nawa sa kanila nang di namamalayan ang kapahamakan!
At ang patibong na ikinubli nila ang sa kanila'y bumitag;
mahulog nawa sila doon upang mapahamak!
9 Kung gayo'y sa Panginoon magagalak ang aking kaluluwa,
na sa kanyang pagliligtas ay nagpapasaya.
10 Lahat ng aking mga buto ay magsasabi,
“ Panginoon, sino ang iyong kagaya?
Ikaw na nagliligtas ng mahina
mula sa kanya na totoong malakas kaysa kanya,
ang mahina at nangangailangan mula sa nanamsam sa kanya?
11 Mga saksing may masamang hangarin ay nagtatayuan;
tinatanong nila ako ng mga bagay na di ko nalalaman.
12 Sa aking kabutihan, iginanti ay kasamaan,
ang aking kaluluwa ay namamanglaw.
13 Ngunit ako, nang sila'y may sakit,
ay nagsuot ako ng damit-sako;
dinalamhati ko ang aking sarili ng pag-aayuno,
Sa dibdib ko'y nanalanging nakayuko ang ulo,
14 ako'y lumakad na tila baga iyon ay aking kaibigan o kapatid,
ako'y humayong gaya ng tumatangis sa kanyang ina
na nakayukong nagluluksa.
15 Ngunit sa aking pagkatisod, sila'y nagtipon na natutuwa,
sila'y nagtipun-tipon laban sa akin,
mga mambubugbog na hindi ko kilala
ang walang hintong nanlait sa akin.
16 Gaya ng mga walang diyos na nanunuya sa pista,
kanilang pinagngangalit sa akin ang mga ngipin nila.
17 Hanggang kailan ka titingin, O Panginoon?
Iligtas mo ang aking kaluluwa sa kanilang mga pagpinsala,
ang aking buhay mula sa mga leon!
18 At ako'y magpapasalamat sa iyo sa dakilang kapulungan;
sa gitna ng napakaraming tao kita'y papupurihan.
19 Huwag(A) nawang magalak sa akin yaong sinungaling kong mga kaaway;
at huwag nawang ikindat ang mata ng mga napopoot sa akin nang walang kadahilanan.
20 Sapagkat sila'y hindi nagsasalita ng kapayapaan,
kundi laban doon sa mga tahimik sa lupain
ay kumakatha sila ng mga salita ng kabulaanan.
21 Kanilang ibinubuka nang maluwang ang bibig nila laban sa akin;
kanilang sinasabi: “Aha, aha,
nakita iyon ng mga mata namin!”
22 Iyong nakita ito, O Panginoon; huwag kang tumahimik,
O Panginoon, huwag kang lumayo sa akin!
23 Kumilos ka, at gumising ka para sa aking karapatan,
Diyos ko at Panginoon ko, para sa aking ipinaglalaban!
24 Ipagtanggol mo ako, O Panginoon, aking Diyos,
ayon sa iyong katuwiran;
at dahil sa akin huwag mo silang hayaang magkatuwaan!
25 Huwag mo silang hayaang magsabi sa sarili nila,
“Aha, iyan ang aming kagustuhan!”
Huwag silang hayaang magsabi, “Aming nalulon na siya.”
26 Mapahiya nawa sila at malitong magkakasama
silang nagagalak sa aking kapahamakan!
Madamitan nawa sila ng kahihiyan at kawalang-dangal
silang laban sa akin ay nagyayabang!
27 Silang nagnanais na ako'y mapawalang-sala
ay sumigaw sa kagalakan at magsaya,
at sa tuwina'y sabihin,
“Dakila ang Panginoon,
na nalulugod sa kapakanan ng kanyang lingkod!”
28 Kung gayo'y isasaysay ng aking dila ang iyong katuwiran
at ang iyong kapurihan 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.
