Verse
Psalms - ch 34 v 1 - 20
- For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me : overthrow them that fight against me.
- Take hold of arms and shield : and rise up to help me.
- Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me : say to my soul : I am thy salvation.
- Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
- Let them become as dust before the wind : and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
- Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
- For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction : without cause they have upbraided my soul.
- Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him : and let the net which he hath hidden catch him : and let the net which he hath hidden catch him : and into that very snare let them fall.
- But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.
- All my bones shall say : Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
- Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
- They repaid me evil for good : to the depriving me of my soul.
- But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
- As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please : as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
- But they rejoiced against me, and came together : scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
- They were separated, and repented not : they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn : they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
- Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice : my only one from the lions.
- I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
- Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me : who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
- For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
