Young's Literal Translation
Psalms, Chapter 35

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