Psalms 35
Book of Psalms
Psalms 35:1 A Psalm of David. Plead my cause, O LORD, with
them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that
persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let
them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD
chase them.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD
persecute them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit,
which without cause they have digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath
hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his
salvation.
10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which
deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the
needy from him that spoileth him?
11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that
I knew not.
12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth:
I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or
brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together:
yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew
it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their
teeth.
17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their
destructions, my darling from the lions.
18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee
among much people.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against
them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha,
aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not
far from me.
23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause,
my God and my Lord.
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them
not rejoice over me.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them
not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at
mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify
themselves against me.
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause:
yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in
the prosperity of his servant.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy
praise all the day long.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
