fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters, |
| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help, |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, `Thy salvation I `am'.' |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil. |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away. |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer. |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul. |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Meet him doth desolation -- he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it. |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation. |
| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData All my bones say, `Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.' |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul, |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And I -- in their sickness my clothing `is' sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth. |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData As `if' a friend, as `if' my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down. |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased; |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth. |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one. |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee. |
| 19 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Mine enemies rejoice not over me `with' falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye. |
| 20 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise, |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, `Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.' |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord -- be not far from me, |
| 23 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea. |
| 24 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me. |
| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData They do not say in their heart, `Aha, our desire.' They do not say, `We swallowed him up.' |
| 26 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me. |
| 27 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, `Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.' |
| 28 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise! |
