Let the Angel of the Lord Chase My Enemies |
||
| A Psalm of David. |
||
| 1 | Plead my
cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them
that fight against me.
|
H · G · S Plead my cause |
| 2 | Take hold of shield
and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
|
H · G · S |
| 3 | Draw out also the
spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say
unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
|
H · G · S |
| 4 | Let them be
confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned
back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
|
H · G · S Let them be confounded |
| 5 | Let them be as chaff
before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.
|
H · G · S |
| 6 | Let their way be dark
and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.
|
H · G · S angel of the LORD |
| 7 | For without cause
have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without
cause they have digged for my soul.
|
H · G · S |
| 8 | Let destruction come
upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself:
into that very destruction let him fall.
|
H · G · S that very destruction |
| 9 | And my soul shall be
joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
|
H · G · S |
| 10 | All my bones shall
say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor
from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him
that spoileth him?
|
H · G · S |
| 11 | False witnesses did
rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
|
H · G · S False witnesses |
| 12 | They rewarded me
evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
|
H · G · S |
| 13 | But as for me, when
they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul
with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
|
H · G · S |
| 14 | I behaved myself as
though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down
heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
|
H · G · S |
| 15 | But in mine
adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea,
the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it
not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
|
H · G · S the abjects |
| 16 | With hypocritical
mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
|
H · G · S |
| 17 | Lord, how long wilt
thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from
the lions.
|
H · G · S my darling |
| 18 | I will give thee
thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
|
H · G · S great congregation |
| 19 | Let not them that
are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them
wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
|
H · G · S |
| 20 | For they speak not
peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are
quiet in the land.
|
H · G · S |
| 21 | Yea, they opened
their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath
seen it.
|
H · G · S Aha, aha |
| 22 | This thou
hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
|
H · G · S |
| 23 | Stir up thyself, and
awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
|
H · G · S |
| 24 | Judge me, O LORD my
God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
|
H · G · S |
| 25 | Let them not say in
their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have
swallowed him up.
|
H · G · S |
| 26 | Let them be ashamed
and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them
be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves
against me.
|
H · G · S |
| 27 | Let them shout for
joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say
continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the
prosperity of his servant.
|
H · G · S |
| 28 | And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long. | H · G · S |
