(Psalms 35:1)  Of David. Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!
(Psalms 35:2)  Take hold of shield and buckler and rise for my help!
(Psalms 35:3)  Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers! Say to my soul, “I am your salvation!”
(Psalms 35:4)  Let them be put to shame and dishonor who seek after my life! Let them be turned back and disappointed who devise evil against me!
(Psalms 35:5)  Let them be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them away!
(Psalms 35:6)  Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them!
(Psalms 35:7)  For without cause they hid their net for me; without cause they dug a pit for my life.
(Psalms 35:8)  Let destruction come upon him when he does not know it! And let the net that he hid ensnare him; let him fall into it—to his destruction!
(Psalms 35:9)  Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD, exulting in his salvation.
(Psalms 35:10)  All my bones shall say, “O LORD, who is like you, delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, the poor and needy from him who robs him?”
(Psalms 35:11)  Malicious witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I do not know.
(Psalms 35:12)  They repay me evil for good; my soul is bereft.
(Psalms 35:13)  But I, when they were sick— I wore sackcloth; I afflicted myself with fasting; I prayed with head bowed on my chest.
(Psalms 35:14)  I went about as though I grieved for my friend or my brother; as one who laments his mother, I bowed down in mourning.
(Psalms 35:15)  But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered; they gathered together against me; wretches whom I did not know tore at me without ceasing;
(Psalms 35:16)  like profane mockers at a feast, they gnash at me with their teeth.
(Psalms 35:17)  How long, O Lord, will you look on? Rescue me from their destruction, my precious life from the lions!
(Psalms 35:18)  I will thank you in the great congregation; in the mighty throng I will praise you.
(Psalms 35:19)  Let not those rejoice over me who are wrongfully my foes, and let not those wink the eye who hate me without cause.
(Psalms 35:20)  For they do not speak peace, but against those who are quiet in the land they devise words of deceit.
(Psalms 35:21)  They open wide their mouths against me; they say, “Aha, Aha! Our eyes have seen it!”
(Psalms 35:22)  You have seen, O LORD; be not silent! O Lord, be not far from me!
(Psalms 35:23)  Awake and rouse yourself for my vindication, for my cause, my God and my Lord!
(Psalms 35:24)  Vindicate me, O LORD, my God, according to your righteousness, and let them not rejoice over me!
(Psalms 35:25)  Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, our heart's desire!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up.”
(Psalms 35:26)  Let them be put to shame and disappointed altogether who rejoice at my calamity! Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me!
(Psalms 35:27)  Let those who delight in my righteousness shout for joy and be glad and say evermore, “Great is the LORD, who delights in the welfare of his servant!”
(Psalms 35:28)  Then my tongue shall tell of your righteousness and of your praise all the day long. (ESV)

@Know Jah FYI................thread started.................

[Know Jah]

Ephesian 4:5-6 is interesting be cause it states "One lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and father of all, who is over all through all and in all".

Therefore there are so many different beliefs yet the word states there is ONLY one faith - True faith

Hi @Hosanna FYI...........Psalm thread started.............

[Hosanna]

There are so many to choose from! Right now Psalm 142 deeply resonates with me;  

(ASV) Prayer for help in trouble.

Maschil of David, when he was in the cave; a Prayer.

142 I cry with my voice unto Jehovah;

With my voice unto Jehovah do I make supplication.

2 I pour out my complaint before him;

I show before him my trouble.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,

Thou knewest my path.

In the way wherein I walk

Have they hidden a snare for me.

4 Look on my right hand, and see;

For there is no man that knoweth me:

Refuge hath failed me;

No man careth for my soul.

5 I cried unto thee, O Jehovah;

I said, Thou art my refuge,

My portion in the land of the living.

6 Attend unto my cry;

For I am brought very low:

Deliver me from my persecutors;

For they are stronger than I.

7 Bring my soul out of prison,

That I may give thanks unto thy name:

The righteous shall compass me about;

For thou wilt deal bountifully with me.

@Hosanna Thank-you; the Psalms have such a deep range of experience and sentiment: the highs, the lows, the anguish, the joy, the faith, and indeed especially the Messianic content.........
