Psalms 35:4
Compare all
2 Take hold of shield and1 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 aLet those be put to shame and brought to dishonor
Who seek after my life;
Let those be bturned back and brought to confusion
Who plot my hurt. 
5 aLet them be like chaff before the wind,
And let the1 angel of the Lord chase them. 
6 Let their way be adark and slippery,
And let the angel of the Lord pursue them. 
7 For without cause they have ahidden their net for me in a pit,
Which they have dug without cause for my life. 
8 Let adestruction 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.

Psalms 35:4

Let them be confounded - That is, Let them, through Thy gracious interposition in my behalf, be so entirely overcome and subdued that they shall be "ashamed" that they ever made the effort to destroy me; let them see so manifestly that God is on my side that they will be covered with confusion for having opposed one who was so entirely the object of the divine protection and care. See Psalms 6:10, note; Psalms 25:2-3, notes. Compare the notes at Job 6:20.

That seek after my soul - My life. That seek to destroy me.

Let them be turned back - In their attempts to pursue me. Do thou interpose and turn them back.

And brought to confusion - Put to shame; or made ashamed - as they are who are disappointed and thwarted in their schemes.
