Psalms 35

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Of David. Oppose, LORD, those who oppose me; war upon those who make war upon me.	1 ܕܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܝܢܝ ܘܐܬܟܬܫ ܥܡ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܟܬܫܝܢ ܥܡܝ
2 Take up the shield and buckler; rise up in my defense.	2 ܐܚܘܕ ܙܝܢܐ ܘܣܟܪܐ ܘܩܘܡ ܒܥܘܕܪܢܝ
3 Brandish lance and battle-ax against my pursuers. Say to my heart, "I am your salvation."	3 ܫܡܘܛ ܣܦܣܝܪܐ ܘܐܒܪܩ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܪ̈ܕܘܦܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܕܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܦܪܘܩܟܝ
4 Let those who seek my life be put to shame and disgrace. Let those who plot evil against me be turned back and confounded.	4 ܢܒܗܬܘܢ ܘܢܚܦܪܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܢܗܦܟܘܢ ܠܒܣܬܪܗܘܢ ܘܢܚܦܪܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܬܚܫܒܘ ܥܠܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ
5 Make them like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them on.	5 ܢܗܘܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܚܝܚܐ ܩܕܡ ܪܘܚܐ ܘܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܪܕܘܦ ܐܢܘܢ
6 Make their way slippery and dark, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.	6 ܬܚܫܟ ܐܘܪܚܗܘܢ ܘܢܗ̈ܘܝܢ ܒܗ̇ ܡܫܪ̈ܘܥܝܬܐ ܘܡܠܐܟܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܪܕܘܦ ܐܢܘܢ
7 Without cause they set their snare for me; without cause they dug a pit for me.	7 ܥܠ ܕܛܡܪܘ ܠܝ ܦܚ̈ܐ ܘܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܦܪܣܘ ܠܢܦܫܝ
8 Let ruin overtake them unawares; let the snare they have set catch them; let them fall into the pit they have dug.	8 ܬܐܬܐ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܡܢ ܫܠܝܐ ܘܡܨܝܕܬܐ ܕܛܡܪܘ ܬܐܚܘܕ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܓܘܡܨܐ ܕܚܦܪܘ ܢܦܠܘܢ ܒܗ
9 Then I will rejoice in the LORD, exult in God's salvation.	9 ܢܦܫܝ ܕܝܢ ܬܪܘܙ ܒܐܠܗܐ. ܘܬܬܒܣܡ ܒܦܘܪܩܢܗ
10 My very bones shall say, "O LORD, who is like you, Who rescue the afflicted from the powerful, the afflicted and needy from the despoiler?"	10 ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܓܪ̈ܡܝ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܡܢܘ ܐܟܘܬܟ ܕܡܦܨܐ ܐܢܬ ܠܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܒܥܠܕܒܒܗ ܘܠܡܣܟܢܐ ܘܠܒܝܫܐ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܚܛܦ ܠܗ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ
11 Malicious witnesses come forward, accuse me of things I do not know.	11 ܩܡܘ ܣܗ̈ܕܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܝܬ ܫܐܠܘܢܝ
12 They repay me evil for good and I am all alone.	12 ܦܪܥܘܢܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܚܠܦ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܐܘܒܕܘ ܢܦܫܝ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܢܫܐ
13 Yet I, when they were ill, put on sackcloth, afflicted myself with fasting, sobbed my prayers upon my bosom.	13 ܘܐܢܐ ܒܟܪܝܗܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܒܫܬ ܣܩܐ ܘܡܟܟܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܒܨܘܡܐ ܘܨܠܘܬܝ ܠܥܘܒܝ ܗܦܟܬ
14 I went about in grief as for my brother, bent in mourning as for my mother.	14 ܐܝܟ ܪܚܡܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܐܚܐ ܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܝܬ ܘܐܝܟ ܗܘ ܕܝܬܒ ܒܐܒܠܐ ܐܬܕܘܝܬ
15 Yet when I stumbled they gathered with glee, gathered against me like strangers. They slandered me without ceasing;	15 ܒܚܫܝ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܘܚܕܝܘ ܠܝ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܥܠܝ ܢܘܓܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܝܕܥܬ
16 without respect they mocked me, gnashed their teeth against me.	16 ܒܫܘܒܗܪܗܘܢ ܘܒܒܘܙܚܗܘܢ ܚܪܩܘ ܥܠܝ ܫ̈ܢܝܗܘܢ
17 Lord, how long will you look on? Save me from roaring beasts, my precious life from lions!	17 ܡܪܝ ܟܕܘ ܚܙܝܬ ܐܗܦܟ ܢܦܫܝ ܡܢ ܫܓܘܫܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܐܪ̈ܝܘܬܐ ܝܚܝܕܘܬܝ
18 Then I will thank you in the great assembly; I will praise you before the mighty throng.	18 ܐܘܕܐ ܠܟ ܒܥܕܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܘܒܥܡ̈ܡܐ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܐܙܡܪ ܠܟ
19 Do not let lying foes smirk at me, my undeserved enemies wink knowingly.	19 ܕܠܐ ܢܚܕܘܢ ܠܝ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝ ܘܫܩܪ̈ܐ ܕܣܢܝܢ ܠܝ ܡܓܢ ܕܡܪܡܙܝܢ ܒܥܝܢ̈ܝܗܘܢ
20 They speak no words of peace, but against the quiet in the land they fashion deceitful speech.	20 ܘܫܠܡܐ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܘܥܠ ܡܟܝܟܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܢܟܠܐ ܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ
21 They open wide their mouths against me. They say, "Aha! Good! Our eyes relish the sight!"	21 ܦܬܚܘ ܥܠܝ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܐܗܐ ܐܗܐ ܚܙܬ ܒܗ ܥܝܢܢ
22 You see this, LORD; do not be silent; Lord, do not withdraw from me.	22 ܚܙܝܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܬܘܩ ܡܪܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܚܩ ܡܢܝ
23 Awake, be vigilant in my defense, in my cause, my God and my Lord.	23 ܐܬܬܥܝܪ ܠܕܝܢܝ ܐܠܗܝ ܘܡܪܝ ܘܚܙܝ ܥܘܠܒܢܝ
24 Defend me because you are just, LORD; my God, do not let them gloat over me.	24 ܕܘܢܝܢܝ ܐܝܟ ܙܕܝܩܘܬܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܚܕܘܢ ܠܝ
25 Do not let them say in their hearts, "Aha! Just what we wanted!" Do not let them say, "We have devoured that one!"	25 ܘܠܐ ܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܒܠܒܗܘܢ ܕܐܬܬܢܝܚܬ ܢܦܫܢ ܘܛܒܥܢܝܗܝ
26 Put to shame and confound all who relish my misfortune. Clothe with shame and disgrace those who lord it over me.	26 ܢܒܗܬܘܢ ܘܢܚܦܪܘܢ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܠܒܝܫܬܝ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܪܘܪܒܝܢ ܥܠܝ ܢܠܒܫܘܢ ܒܗܬܬܐ
27 But let those who favor my just cause shout for joy and be glad. May they ever say, "Exalted be the LORD who delights in the peace of his loyal servant."	27 ܢܫܒܚܘܢ ܘܢܚܕܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܠܙܟܘܬܝ ܘܢܐܡܪܘܢ ܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܕܪܒ ܗܘ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܨܒܐ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܕܥܒܕܗ
28 Then my tongue shall recount your justice, declare your praise, all the day long.	28 ܠܫܢܝ ܢܘܕܐ ܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܟ ܘܟܠܗ ܝܘܡܐ ܒܬܫܒ̈ܚܬܟ
