Psalms 35:1

The Lord the Avenger of His People

A Psalm of David.

1 Plead¹ my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me;
Fight against those who fight against me.

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.
