Psalms 35:17-28 Complete Jewish Bible
17 Adonai, how much longer will you look on?Rescue me from their assaults,save the one life I have from the lions!
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly,I will give you praise among huge crowds of people.19 Don’t let those who are wrongfully my enemiesgloat over me;and those who hate me unprovoked —don’t let them smirk at me.
20 For they don’t speak words of peacebut devise ways to deceivethe peaceful of the land.21 They shout to accuse me, “Aha! Aha!we saw you with our own eyes!”22 You saw them, Adonai; don’t stay silent.Adonai, don’t stay far away from me.
23 Wake up! Get up, my God, my Lord!Defend me and my cause!24 Give judgment for me, Adonai, my God,as your righteousness demands.
Don’t let them gloat over me.25 Don’t let them say to themselves,“Aha! We got what we wanted!”or say, “We swallowed them up!”26 May those who gloat over my distressbe disgraced and humiliated.May those who aggrandize themselves at my expensebe covered with shame and confusion.
27 But may those who delight in my righteousnessshout for joy and be glad!Let them say always, “How great is Adonai,who delights in the peace of his servant!”28 Then my tongue will tell of your righteousnessand praise you all day long.
