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)

Psalm 35:1-9
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.
