[1]

By David.

Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me.
Fight against those who fight against me.
[2] Take hold of shield and buckler,
and stand up for my help.
[3] Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me.
Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”
[4] Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor.
Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
[5] Let them be as chaff before the wind,
Yahweh’s angel driving them on.
[6] Let their way be dark and slippery,
Yahweh’s angel pursuing them.
[7] For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me.
Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
[8] Let destruction come on him unawares.
Let his net that he has hidden catch himself.
Let him fall into that destruction.
[9] My soul shall be joyful in Yahweh.
It shall rejoice in his salvation.
[10] All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you,
who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him;
yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
[11] Unrighteous witnesses rise up.
They ask me about things that I don’t know about.
[12] They reward me evil for good,
to the bereaving of my soul.
[13] But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth.
I afflicted my soul with fasting.
My prayer returned into my own bosom.
[14] I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother.
I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
[15] But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together.
The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it.
They tore at me, and didn’t cease.
[16] Like the profane mockers in feasts,
they gnashed their teeth at me.
[17] Lord, how long will you look on?
Rescue my soul from their destruction,
my precious life from the lions.
[18] I will give you thanks in the great assembly.
I will praise you among many people.
[19] Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me;
neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
[20] For they don’t speak peace,
but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
[21] Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me.
They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”
[22] You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent.
Lord, don’t be far from me.
[23] Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God!
My Lord, contend for me!
[24] Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness.
Don’t let them gloat over me.
[25] Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!”
Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
[26] Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity.
Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
[27] Let those who favor my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad.
Yes, let them say continually, “May Yahweh be magnified,
who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
[28] My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.

[A Psalm] of David.H1732

PleadH7378(QalImpv) [my cause], O Lord,H3068 with them that striveH3401 with me: fightH3898(QalImpv) against them that fightH3898(QalActPtc) against me.
[2] Take holdH2388(HiphImpv) of shieldH4043 and buckler,H6793 and stand upH6965(QalImpv) for mine help.H5833 [3] Draw outH7324(HiphImpv) also the spear,H2595 and stopH5462(QalImpv) [the way] againstH7125(QalInf) them that persecuteH7291(QalActPtc) me: sayH559(QalImpv) unto my soul,H5315 I [am] thy salvation.H3444 [4] Let them be confoundedH954(QalImpf) and put to shameH3637(NiphImpf) that seekH1245(PielPtc) after my soul:H5315 let them be turnedH5472(NiphImpf) backH268 and brought to confusionH2659(QalImpf) that deviseH2803(QalActPtc) my hurt.H7451 [5] Let them be as chaffH4671 beforeH6440 the wind:H7307 and let the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 chaseH1760(QalActPtc) [them]. [6] Let their wayH1870 be darkH2822 and slippery:H2519 and let the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 persecuteH7291(QalActPtc) them. [7] For without causeH2600 have they hidH2934(QalPerf) for me their netH7568 [in] a pit,H7845 [which] without causeH2600 they have diggedH2658(QalPerf) for my soul.H5315 [8] Let destructionH7722 comeH935(QalImpf) upon him at unawares;H3045(QalImpf) and let his netH7568 that he hath hidH2934(QalPerf) catchH3920(QalImpf) himself: into that very destructionH7722 let him fall.H5307(QalImpf) [9] And my soulH5315 shall be joyfulH1523(QalImpf) in the Lord:H3068 it shall rejoiceH7797(QalImpf) in his salvation.H3444 [10] All my bonesH6106 shall say,H559(QalImpf) Lord,H3068 who [is] like unto thee, which deliverestH5337(HiphPtc) the poorH6041 from him that is too strongH2389 for him, yea, the poorH6041 and the needyH34 from him that spoilethH1497(QalActPtc) him? [11] FalseH2555 witnessesH5707 did rise up;H6965(QalImpf) they laid to my chargeH7592(QalImpf) [things] that I knewH3045(QalPerf) not. [12] They rewardedH7999(PielImpf) me evilH7451 for goodH2896 [to] the spoilingH7908 of my soul.H5315 [13] But as for me, when they were sick,H2470(QalInf) my clothingH3830 [was] sackcloth:H8242 I humbledH6031(PielPerf) my soulH5315 with fasting;H6685 and my prayerH8605 returnedH7725(QalImpf) into mine own bosom.H2436 [14] I behavedH1980(HithPerf) myself as though [he had been] my friendH7453 [or] brother:H251 I bowed downH7817(QalPerf) heavily,H6937(QalActPtc) as one that mournethH57 [for his] mother.H517 [15] But in mine adversityH6761 they rejoiced,H8055(QalPerf) and gathered themselves together:H622(NiphPerf) [yea], the abjectsH5222 gathered themselves togetherH622(NiphPerf) against me, and I knewH3045(QalPerf) [it] not; they did tearH7167(QalPerf) [me], and ceasedH1826(QalPerf) not: [16] With hypocriticalH2611 mockersH3934 in feasts,H4580 they gnashedH2786(QalInf) upon me with their teeth.H8127 [17] Lord,H136 how long wilt thou look on?H7200(QalImpf) rescueH7725(HiphImpv) my soulH5315 from their destructions,H7722 my darlingH3173 from the lions.H3715 [18] I will give thee thanksH3034(HiphImpf) in the greatH7227 congregation:H6951 I will praiseH1984(PielImpf) thee among muchH6099 people.H5971 [19] Let not them that are mine enemiesH341(QalActPtc) wrongfullyH8267 rejoiceH8055(QalImpf) over me: [neither] let them winkH7169(QalImpf) with the eyeH5869 that hateH8130(QalActPtc) me without a cause.H2600 [20] For they speakH1696(PielImpf) not peace:H7965 but they deviseH2803(QalImpf) deceitfulH4820 mattersH1697 against [them that are] quietH7282 in the land.H776 [21] Yea, they opened their mouthH6310 wideH7337(HiphImpf) against me, [and] said,H559(QalPerf) Aha,H1889 aha,H1889 our eyeH5869 hath seenH7200(QalPerf) [it]. [22] [This] thou hast seen,H7200(QalPerf) O Lord:H3068 keep not silence:H2790(QalImpf) O Lord,H136 be not farH7368(QalImpf) from me. [23] Stir upH5782(HiphImpv) thyself, and awakeH6974(HiphImpv) to my judgment,H4941 [even] unto my cause,H7379 my GodH430 and my Lord.H136 [24] JudgeH8199(QalImpv) me, O LordH3068 my God,H430 according to thy righteousness;H6664 and let them not rejoiceH8055(QalImpf) over me. [25] Let them not sayH559(QalImpf) in their hearts,H3820 Ah,H1889 so would we have it:H5315 let them not say,H559(QalImpf) We have swallowed him up.H1104(PielPerf) [26] Let them be ashamedH954(QalImpf) and brought to confusionH2659(QalImpf) togetherH3162 that rejoiceH8056 at mine hurt:H7451 let them be clothedH3847(QalImpf) with shameH1322 and dishonourH3639 that magnifyH1431(HiphPtc) [themselves] against me. [27] Let them shout for joy,H7442(QalImpf) and be glad,H8055(QalImpf) that favourH2655 my righteous cause:H6664 yea, let them sayH559(QalImpf) continually,H8548 Let the LordH3068 be magnified,H1431(QalImpf) which hath pleasureH2655 in the prosperityH7965 of his servant.H5650 [28] And my tongueH3956 shall speakH1897(QalImpf) of thy righteousnessH6664 [and] of thy praiseH8416 all the dayH3117 long.
