Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me. 2Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me. 3Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation. 4Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise evil against me. 5Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them. 6Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them. 7For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul. 8Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall. 9But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation. 10All 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. 11Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not. 12They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul. 13But 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. 14As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled. 15But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not. 16They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth. 17Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou my soul from their malice: my only one from the lions. 18I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people. 19Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes. 20For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile. 21And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it. 22Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me. 23Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord. 24Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me. 25Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up. 26Let them blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me. 27Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant. 28And my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long. ‹Previous chapterPsalms 33Next chapterPsalms 35›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsPsalms 34 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
