Psalms 35:1-10

Prayer for God, the Divine Warrior

Psalms 35:1-10
1
By David: ADONAI, oppose those who oppose me; fight against those who fight against me.
2
Grasp your shield and protective gear, and rise to my defense.
3
Brandish spear and battle-axe against my pursuers; let me hear you say, "I am your salvation."
4
May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to confusion; may those who are plotting harm for me be repulsed and put to shame.
5
May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of ADONAI to drive them on.
6
May their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of ADONAI to pursue them.
7
For unprovoked, they hid their net over a pit; unprovoked, they dug it for me.
8
May destruction come over him unawares. May the net he concealed catch himself; may he fall into it and be destroyed.
9
Then I will be joyful in ADONAI, I will rejoice in his salvation.
10
All my bones will say, "Who is like you? Who can rescue the weak from those stronger than they, the poor and needy from those who exploit them?"
