Psalms of David 35
35
PSALM XXXV.
C. M.
1AGAINST all those that strive with me,
O Lord, assert my right;
With such as war unjustly wage
Do thou my battles fight.
2Thy buckler take, and bind thy shield
Upon thy warlike arm;
Stand up, my God, in my defence,
And keep me safe from harm.
3Bring forth thy spear, and stop their course,
That haste my blood to spill;
Say to my soul, I am thy health,
And will preserve thee still.
4Let them with shame be cover’d o’er,
Who my destruction sought;
And such as did my harm devise
Be to confusion brought.
5Then shall they fly, dispers’d like chaff
Before the driving wind;
God’s vengeful minister of wrath
Shall follow close behind.
6And when through dark and slipp’ry ways
They strive his rage to shun,
His vengeful ministers of wrath
Shall goad them as they run.
7Since, unprovok’d by any wrong,
They hid their treach’rous snare;
And for my harmless soul a pit
Did causelessly prepare:
8Surpris’d by mischiefs unforeseen,
By their own arts betray’d,
Their feet shall fall into the net
Which they for me had laid.
9Whilst my glad soul shall God’s great Name
For this deliv’rance bless,
And, by his saving health secur’d,
Its grateful joy express;
10My very bones shall say, O Lord,
Who can compare with thee,
Who sett’st the poor and helpless man
From strong oppressors free?
The Second Part.
11False witnesses, with forg’d complaints,
Against my truth combin’d;
And to my charge such things they laid
As I had ne’er design’d.
12The good which I to them had done,
With evil they repaid;
And did, by malice undeserv’d,
My harmless life invade.
13But as for me, when they were sick,
I still in sackcloth mourn’d;
I pray’d and fasted, and my pray’r
To my own breast return’d.
14Had they my friends or brethren been,
I could have done no more;
Nor with more decent signs of grief
A mother’s loss deplore.
15How diff’rent did their carriage prove
In times of my distress;
When they, in crowds together met,
Did savage joy express.
The rabble too, in num’rous throngs,
By their example came,
And ceas’d not, with reviling words,
To wound my spotless fame.
16Scoffers, that noble tables haunt,
And earn their bread with lies,
Did gnash their teeth, and sland’ring jests
Maliciously devise.
17But, Lord, how long wilt thou look on
On my behalf appear:
And save my guiltless soul, which they,
Like rav’ning beasts, would tear.
The Third Part.
18So I, before the list’ning world,
Shall grateful thanks express;
And, where the great assembly meets,
Thy Name with praises bless.
19Lord, suffer not my causeless foes,
Who me unjustly hate,
With open joy, or secret signs,
To mock my sad estate.
20For they, with hearts averse from peace,
Industriously devise
Against the men of quiet minds
To forge malicious lies.
21Nor with these private arts content,
Aloud they vent their spite;
And say, At last we found him out,
He did it in our sight.
22But thou, who dost both them and me
With righteous eyes survey,
Assert my innocence, O Lord,
And keep not far away.
23Stir up thyself, in my behalf
To judgment, Lord, awake;
Thy righteous servant’s cause, O God,
To thy decision take.
24Lord, as my heart has upright been,
Let me thy justice find;
Nor let my cruel foes obtain
The triumph they design’d.
25O let them not amongst themselves
In boasting language say,
At length our wishes are complete,
At last he’s made our prey.
26Let such as in my harm rejoic’d
For shame their faces hide;
And foul dishonour wait on those
That proudly me defied:
27Whilst they with cheerful voices shout
Who my just cause befriend,
And bless the Lord, who loves to make
Success his saints attend.
28So shall my tongue thy judgments sing,
Inspir’d with grateful joy;
And cheerful hymns in praise of thee
Shall all my days employ.
