DRC, KJV, VulgClementine - Psalms - 35

35:1  Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself.

35:1  Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

35:1  In finem. Servo Domini ipsi David.

35:2  The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.

35:2  Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

35:2  Dixit injustus ut delinquat in semetipso : non est timor Dei ante oculos ejus.

35:3  For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.

35:3  Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

35:3  Quoniam dolose egit in conspectu ejus, ut inveniatur iniquitas ejus ad odium.

35:4  The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.

35:4  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.

35:4  Verba oris ejus iniquitas, et dolus ; noluit intelligere ut bene ageret.

35:5  He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.

35:5  Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.

35:5  Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo ; astitit omni viæ non bonæ : malitiam autem non odivit.

35:6  O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.

35:6  Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.

35:6  Domine, in cælo misericordia tua, et veritas tua usque ad nubes.

35:7  Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:

35:7  For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

35:7  Justitia tua sicut montes Dei ; judicia tua abyssus multa. Homines et jumenta salvabis, Domine,

35:8  O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the cover of thy wings.

35:8  Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

35:8  quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam, Deus. Filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt.

35:9  They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.

35:9  And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

35:9  Inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuæ, et torrente voluptatis tuæ potabis eos :

35:10  For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.

35:10  All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

35:10  quoniam apud te est fons vitæ, et in lumine tuo videbimus lumen.

35:11  Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.

35:11  False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

35:11  Prætende misericordiam tuam scientibus te, et justitiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde.

35:12  Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.

35:12  They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.

35:12  Non veniat mihi pes superbiæ, et manus peccatoris non moveat me.

35:13  There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.

35:13  But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

35:13  Ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem ; expulsi sunt, nec potuerunt stare.

35:14  I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

35:15  But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

35:16  With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

35:17  Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.

35:18  I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

35:19  Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

35:20  For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

35:21  Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

35:22  This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

35:23  Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

35:24  Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

35:25  Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

35:26  Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

35:27  Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

35:28  And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.
