\d A psalm written by David
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh, fight against those who fight against me!
|
|
\q2 Fight with my enemies when they fight me!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Be like a shield to protect me
|
|
\q2 and come to help me!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Lift up your spear and throw it at those who pursue me!
|
|
\q2 Promise me that you will enable me to defeat my enemies.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 Those who are trying to kill me—make others disgrace and dishonor them.
|
|
\q1 Push back and confuse those who are planning to do evil things to me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 Send your angel to pursue them
|
|
\q2 and to make them disappear like chaff that the wind blows away.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Cause the path on which they run to be dark and slippery
|
|
\q2 as your angel pursues them!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Although I did not do anything wrong to them,
|
|
\q2 they dug a deep pit for me to fall into;
|
|
\q2 they hid a net in which they would catch me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Cause them to suddenly experience disaster!
|
|
\q2 Cause their own nets to trap them.
|
|
\q1 Cause them to fall into the pits that they have dug for me, and make them die in them!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 Then I will rejoice in what you, Yahweh, have done for me;
|
|
\q2 I will be glad that you have rescued me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 With my whole inner being I will say,
|
|
\q2 "There is no one like Yahweh!
|
|
\q1 No one else can rescue helpless people from powerful people.
|
|
\q2 No one else can rescue weak and needy people from those who want to rob them."
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 People who tell lies stand in court
|
|
\q2 and accuse me of doing things that I do not know anything about.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 In return for my doing good things for them, they do evil things to me,
|
|
\q2 with the result that I feel that I am alone.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 When they were ill, I showed that I was sad.
|
|
\q2 I did not eat any food, and I bowed my head as I prayed for them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 I mourned and bowed my head as I prayed
|
|
\q2 as though it were a friend or my mother for whom I was grieving.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 But when I had troubles, they were all happy about it.
|
|
\q2 They unexpectedly gathered around to make fun of me.
|
|
\q1 Strangers kept striking me;
|
|
\q2 they would not stop.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 People who respect no one ridiculed me
|
|
\q2 and snarled at me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 Lord, how long will you only watch them doing this?
|
|
\q2 Rescue me from their attacks;
|
|
\q1 Save me from being killed by these men who are attacking me
|
|
\q2 as lions attack other animals!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 Then, when many of your people gather,
|
|
\q2 I will praise you,
|
|
\q1 and I will thank you in front of all of them.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 Do not allow my enemies, who tell lies about me, defeat me
|
|
\q2 and then rejoice about it!
|
|
\q1 Do not allow those who hate me when there in no reason to hate me
|
|
\q2 to laugh about how I suffer!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 They do not speak peacefully to people;
|
|
\q2 instead, they look for ways to tell lies about people in our land who do no harm to anyone.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 They shout at me in order to accuse me;
|
|
\q2 they say, "We saw the wrong things that you did!"
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 Yahweh, you have seen these things, so do not be silent!
|
|
\q2 Do not stay far from me!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 23 Arise, my God, plead my case in court,
|
|
\q2 and successfully defend me!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 24 Yahweh, my God, because you are righteous,
|
|
\q1 prove that I am innocent
|
|
\q2 so that my enemies will not be able to gloat that I was judged to be guilty.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 25 Do not allow them to be able to say to themselves,
|
|
\q2 "Yes, we have gotten rid of him just like we desired!"
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 26 Cause those who rejoice about my misfortunes
|
|
\q2 to be completely confused and disgraced;
|
|
\q1 cause those who boast that they are much greater than I am
|
|
\q2 to be disgraced and dishonored!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 27 But cause those who desire that you declare me innocent
|
|
\q2 to be happy and shout joyfully;
|
|
\q1 cause them to always say, "Yahweh is great!
|
|
\q2 He is delighted to cause things to go well for those who serve him."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 28 Then I will proclaim that you act in the right way,
|
|
\q2 and I will praise you all the time.
