THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Psalms 35:4 in context

Psalms 35:1–7

Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me.

Fight against those who fight against me.

Take hold of shield and buckler,

and stand up for my help.

Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me.

Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”

Selected verse

Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor.

Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.

Let them be as chaff before the wind,

the LORD’s angel driving them on.

Let their way be dark and slippery,

the LORD’s angel pursuing them.

For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me.

Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
