Psalm 35:1-8
View Full ChapterPsalm 35 1Of David. Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.
2Take up shield and armor; arise and come to my aid.
3Brandish spear and javelin
4May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay.
5May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them away;
6may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
7Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me,
8may ruin overtake them by surprise— may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
