Parallel
Psalms 35
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
In finem. Servo Domini ipsi David.
Of David. Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me.
Dixit injustus ut delinquat in semetipso : non est timor Dei ante oculos ejus.
Take up Your shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
Quoniam dolose egit in conspectu ejus, ut inveniatur iniquitas ejus ad odium.
Draw the spear and javelin (note: Or and close the way) against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
Verba oris ejus iniquitas, et dolus ; noluit intelligere ut bene ageret.
May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.
Iniquitatem meditatus est in cubili suo ; astitit omni viæ non bonæ : malitiam autem non odivit.
May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.
Domine, in cælo misericordia tua, et veritas tua usque ad nubes.
May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.
Justitia tua sicut montes Dei ; judicia tua abyssus multa. Homines et jumenta salvabis, Domine,
For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
quemadmodum multiplicasti misericordiam tuam, Deus. Filii autem hominum in tegmine alarum tuarum sperabunt.
May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
Inebriabuntur ab ubertate domus tuæ, et torrente voluptatis tuæ potabis eos :
Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
quoniam apud te est fons vitæ, et in lumine tuo videbimus lumen.
All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”
Prætende misericordiam tuam scientibus te, et justitiam tuam his qui recto sunt corde.
Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
Non veniat mihi pes superbiæ, et manus peccatoris non moveat me.
They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.
Ibi ceciderunt qui operantur iniquitatem ; expulsi sunt, nec potuerunt stare.
Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
