Thánh Thi 35
New Vietnamese Bible
Thánh Thi Đa-vít
35 Lạy CHÚA, xin tranh luận[a] với kẻ tranh luận cùng tôi,
Chiến đấu với kẻ chiến đấu nghịch tôi.
2 Xin hãy cầm khiên và mộc,
Xin đứng dậy giúp tôi.
3 Xin hãy rút lao và giáo
Chống lại kẻ săn đuổi tôi.
Hãy nói với linh hồn tôi,
Ta là sự cứu rỗi ngươi.
4 Nguyện kẻ tìm kiếm mạng sống tôi
Bị hổ thẹn và nhục nhã.
Nguyện kẻ âm mưu điều ác hại tôi
Phải tháo lui và bối rối.
5 Nguyện chúng nó như trấu trước gió,
Bị thiên sứ CHÚA đánh đuổi đi.
6 Nguyện đường chúng nó tối tăm trơn trợt,
Và thiên sứ CHÚA săn đuổi chúng.
7 Bởi vì vô cớ chúng gài lưới hại tôi,
Vô cớ chúng đào hố cho tôi[b] sập ngã.
8 Nguyện sự hủy hoại bất ngờ đến với chúng,
Và chúng mắc vào bẫy lưới mình đã giăng.
Nguyện chúng rơi vào đó và bị hủy hoại.
9 Linh hồn tôi sẽ vui mừng trong CHÚA,
Hân hoan trong sự cứu rỗi Ngài.
10 Các xương cốt tôi đều nói:
Lạy CHÚA, ai giống như Ngài?
Ngài giải cứu người yếu đuối khỏi kẻ mạnh bạo,
Cứu người yếu kém và cùng khốn khỏi kẻ bóc lột họ.
11 Những người chứng gian nổi lên,
Chúng tra hỏi tôi những điều tôi không biết.
12 Chúng lấy dữ trả lành,
Làm linh hồn tôi tuyệt vọng.
13 Còn tôi, khi chúng đau, tôi mặc bao gai,
Tôi đau đớn, tôi kiêng ăn,
Khi lời cầu nguyện của tôi không được đáp lại.[c]
14 Tôi coi họ như bạn hữu, như anh em.
Tôi đi than khóc như than khóc mẹ yêu,
Đầu cúi trong bộ đồ tang chế.
15 Nhưng khi tôi vấp ngã, chúng họp nhau vui mừng.
Tôi không hề biết, chúng họp lại chống tôi,
Chúng cấu xé tôi không ngừng.
16 Như kẻ vô đạo, chúng cứ nhạo báng tôi.
Chúng nghiến răng nghịch cùng tôi.
17 Lạy CHÚA, Ngài cứ nhìn xem chúng cho đến bao giờ?
Xin cứu linh hồn tôi khỏi sự tàn phá của chúng,
Xin cứu mạng sống tôi khỏi bầy sư tử.
18 Tôi sẽ cảm tạ Ngài trong hội lớn.
Tôi sẽ ca ngợi Ngài giữa đám dân đông.
19 Xin chớ để những kẻ vô cớ thù tôi vui mừng.
Và kẻ vô cớ ghét tôi nheo mắt hân hoan.
20 Vì chúng không nói lời hòa bình,
Nhưng nói lời gian dối
Chống người hiền hòa trên đất.
21 Miệng chúng khoác lác chống tôi,
Rằng: Ha! Ha! mắt chúng ta đã thấy rồi.
22 Lạy CHÚA, Ngài đã thấy rõ, xin chớ im lặng.
Lạy Chúa tôi, xin đừng lìa xa tôi.
23 Xin hãy thức dậy, xin hãy đứng lên bênh vực tôi.[d]
Lạy Đức Chúa Trời, Chúa tôi, xin bênh vực tôi.
24 Lạy CHÚA, Đức Chúa Trời của tôi. Xin xét xử tôi tùy sự công chính Ngài,
Xin chớ để chúng vui mừng vì tôi.
25 Xin chớ để chúng nói trong lòng: A ha! Đó là điều chúng ta mong muốn.[e]
Hoặc nói: chúng ta đã ăn nuốt nó rồi.
26 Nguyện những kẻ vui mừng trên tai họa của tôi
Phải cùng nhau bị hổ thẹn và bối rối.
Nguyện những kẻ tự tôn nghịch tôi
Sẽ hổ thẹn và nhục nhã tràn đầy.
27 Nguyện những kẻ vui mừng cho sự công chính của tôi
Sẽ reo hò vui vẻ.
Nguyện họ luôn luôn tung hô: CHÚA vĩ đại thay!
Ngài vui thích ban sự hưng thịnh cho tôi tớ Ngài.
28 Lưỡi tôi sẽ rao truyền sự công chính của Ngài
Và ca ngợi Chúa suốt ngày.
Psalm 35
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)
10 My whole being will exclaim,
“Who is like you,(V) Lord?
You rescue the poor from those too strong(W) for them,
the poor and needy(X) from those who rob them.”
11 Ruthless witnesses(Y) come forward;
they question me on things I know nothing about.
12 They repay me evil for good(Z)
and leave me like one bereaved.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth(AA)
and humbled myself with fasting.(AB)
When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
14 I went about mourning(AC)
as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
as though weeping for my mother.
15 But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee;(AD)
assailants gathered against me without my knowledge.
They slandered(AE) me without ceasing.
16 Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;[b](AF)
they gnashed their teeth(AG) at me.
17 How long,(AH) Lord, will you look on?
Rescue me from their ravages,
my precious life(AI) from these lions.(AJ)
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly;(AK)
among the throngs(AL) I will praise you.(AM)
19 Do not let those gloat over me
who are my enemies(AN) without cause;
do not let those who hate me without reason(AO)
maliciously wink the eye.(AP)
20 They do not speak peaceably,
but devise false accusations(AQ)
against those who live quietly in the land.
21 They sneer(AR) at me and say, “Aha! Aha!(AS)
With our own eyes we have seen it.”
22 Lord, you have seen(AT) this; do not be silent.
Do not be far(AU) from me, Lord.
23 Awake,(AV) and rise(AW) to my defense!
Contend(AX) for me, my God and Lord.
24 Vindicate me in your righteousness, Lord my God;
do not let them gloat(AY) over me.
25 Do not let them think, “Aha,(AZ) just what we wanted!”
or say, “We have swallowed him up.”(BA)
26 May all who gloat(BB) over my distress(BC)
be put to shame(BD) and confusion;
may all who exalt themselves over me(BE)
be clothed with shame and disgrace.
27 May those who delight in my vindication(BF)
shout for joy(BG) and gladness;
may they always say, “The Lord be exalted,
who delights(BH) in the well-being of his servant.”(BI)

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.
Psalm 35
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!
7 For (I)without cause (J)they hid their net for me;
without cause they dug (K)a pit for my life.[b]
8 Let (L)destruction come upon him (M)when he does not know it!
And let the net that he hid ensnare him;
let him fall into it—to his destruction!
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord,
(N)exulting in his salvation.
10 All my (O)bones shall say,
“O Lord, (P)who is like you,
delivering the poor
from him who is too strong for him,
the poor and needy from him who robs him?”
11 (Q)Malicious[c] witnesses rise up;
they ask me of things that I do not know.
12 (R)They repay me evil for good;
my soul is bereft.[d]
13 But I, (S)when they were sick—
I (T)wore sackcloth;
I (U)afflicted myself with fasting;
I prayed (V)with head bowed[e] on my chest.
14 I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother;
as one who laments his mother,
I (W)bowed down in mourning.
15 But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered;
they gathered together against me;
(X)wretches whom I did not know
tore at me without ceasing;
16 like profane mockers at a feast,[f]
they (Y)gnash at me with their teeth.
17 How long, O Lord, will you (Z)look on?
Rescue me from their destruction,
(AA)my precious life from the lions!
18 I will thank you in (AB)the great congregation;
in the mighty throng I will praise you.
19 (AC)Let not those rejoice over me
who are (AD)wrongfully my foes,
and let not those (AE)wink the eye
who (AF)hate me (AG)without cause.
20 For they do not speak peace,
but against those who are quiet in the land
they devise words of deceit.
21 They (AH)open wide their mouths against me;
they say, (AI)“Aha, Aha!
Our eyes have seen it!”
22 (AJ)You have seen, O Lord; (AK)be not silent!
O Lord, (AL)be not far from me!
23 Awake and (AM)rouse yourself for (AN)my vindication,
for my cause, my God and my Lord!
24 (AO)Vindicate me, O Lord, my God,
according to your righteousness,
and (AP)let them not rejoice over me!
25 Let them not say in their hearts,
(AQ)“Aha, our heart's desire!”
Let them not say, (AR)“We have swallowed him up.”
26 Let them be (AS)put to shame and disappointed altogether
who rejoice at my calamity!
Let them be (AT)clothed with shame and dishonor
who (AU)magnify themselves against me!
27 Let those who delight in my righteousness
shout for joy and be glad
(AV)and say evermore,
(AW)“Great is the Lord,
who (AX)delights in the welfare of his servant!”
28 Then my (AY)tongue shall tell of your righteousness
and of your praise all the day long.
