Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ## By David. [[#Verse 01.]] O Lord, fight those who fight with me. Attack those who attack me. [[#Verse 02.]] Grab your small shield and large shield, and rise up to help me. [[#Verse 03.]] Use your spear and lance against those who chase me. Assure me with these words: “I am your deliverer.” [[#Verse 04.]] May those who seek my life be embarrassed and humiliated. May those who plan to harm me be turned back and ashamed. [[#Verse 05.]] May they be like wind-driven chaff, as the angel of the Lord attacks them. [[#Verse 06.]] May their path be dark and slippery, as the angel of the Lord chases them. [[#Verse 07.]] I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch me and dug a pit to trap me. [[#Verse 08.]] Let destruction take them by surprise. Let the net they hid catch them. Let them fall into destruction. [[#Verse 09.]] Then I will rejoice in the Lord and be happy because of his deliverance. [[#Verse 10.]] With all my strength I will say, “O Lord, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them, the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.” [[#Verse 11.]] Violent men perjure themselves, and falsely accuse me. [[#Verse 12.]] They repay me evil for the good I have done; I am overwhelmed with sorrow. [[#Verse 13.]] When they were sick, I wore sackcloth, and refrained from eating food. (If I am lying, may my prayers go unanswered.) [[#Verse 14.]] I mourned for them as I would for a friend or my brother. I bowed down in sorrow as if I were mourning for my mother. [[#Verse 15.]] But when I stumbled, they rejoiced and gathered together; they gathered together to ambush me. They tore at me without stopping to rest. [[#Verse 16.]] When I tripped, they taunted me relentlessly, and tried to bite me. [[#Verse 17.]] O Lord, how long are you going to watch this? Rescue me from their destructive attacks; guard my life from the young lions. [[#Verse 18.]] Then I will give you thanks in the great assembly; I will praise you before a large crowd of people. [[#Verse 19.]] Do not let those who are my enemies for no reason gloat over me. Do not let those who hate me without cause carry out their wicked schemes. [[#Verse 20.]] For they do not try to make peace with others, but plan ways to deceive those who live peacefully in the land. [[#Verse 21.]] They are ready to devour me; they say, “Aha! Aha! We’ve got you!” [[#Verse 22.]] But you take notice, Lord; do not be silent! O Lord, do not remain far away from me. [[#Verse 23.]] Rouse yourself, wake up and vindicate me. My God and Lord, defend my just cause. [[#Verse 24.]] Vindicate me by your justice, O Lord my God. Do not let them gloat over me. [[#Verse 25.]] Do not let them say to themselves, “Aha! We have what we wanted!” Do not let them say, “We have devoured him.” [[#Verse 26.]] May those who rejoice in my troubles be totally embarrassed and ashamed. May those who arrogantly taunt me be covered with shame and humiliation. [[#Verse 27.]] May those who desire my vindication shout for joy and rejoice. May they continually say, “May the Lord be praised, for he wants his servant to be secure.” [[#Verse 28.]] Then I will tell others about your justice, and praise you all day long. ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ###### Verse 24. ###### Verse 25. ###### Verse 26. ###### Verse 27. ###### Verse 28. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
