Psalm 35:1-Psalm 36:1 - Prayer For Victory
1 Davidic.
fight those who fight me.
and come to my aid.
and assure me: “I am your deliverance.”
4
be disgraced and humiliated;
let those who plan to harm me
be turned back and ashamed.
with the angel of the Lord driving them away.
with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.
they dug a pit for me without cause.
and let the net that he hid ensnare him;
let him fall into it—to his ruin.
9
I will delight in His deliverance.
“Lord, who is like You,
rescuing the poor from one too strong for him,
the poor or the needy from one who robs him?”
11
they question me about things I do not know.
making me desolate.
my clothing was sackcloth;
I humbled myself with fasting,
and my prayer was genuine.
I was bowed down with grief,
like one mourning a mother.
they gathered against me.
Assailants I did not know
tore at me and did not stop.
they gnashed their teeth at me.
17
Rescue my life from their ravages,
my only one from the young lions.
I will exalt You among many people.
do not let those who hate me without cause
look at me maliciously.
but contrive deceitful schemes
against those who live peacefully in the land.
“Aha, aha! We saw it!”
22
Lord, do not be far from me.
to my cause, my God and my Lord!
in keeping with Your righteousness,
and do not let them rejoice over me.
“Aha! Just what we wanted.”
Do not let them say,
“We have swallowed him up!”
be disgraced and humiliated;
let those who exalt themselves over me
be clothed with shame and reproach.
27
shout for joy and be glad;
let them continually say,
“The Lord be exalted.
He takes pleasure in His servant’s well-being.”
Your praise all day long.
