Psalm 35 (Cont'd.)

THE PSALMIST PRAYS:

Let them not rejoice over me who are
  wrongfully my enemies;
Nor let them wink with the eye who hate
  me without cause.
For they do not speak peace,
But they devise deceitful matters
Against the quiet ones in the land.
They also opened their mouth wide
  against me.
And said, "Aha, aha!
Our eyes have seen it."

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:

Lord show them no mercy, those who
 gloat over me - they are my enemies;
Nor let them mock me with the eye
 that would cast hardened looks my way.
For they have no joy - only hate.
They stir up problems in the family
They use their mouths to form words of deceit
  against me.
And wag their tongues ever against me
  saying vile things are indeed true.

THE PSALMIST PRAYS:
This You have seen, O Lord;
Do not keep silence.
O Lord, do not be far from me.
Stir up Yourself, and awake to my
  vindication.
To my cause, my God and my Lord.
Vindicate me, O Lord my God, according
  to your righteousness;
And let them not rejoice over me.
Let them not say in their hearts, "Ah, so
  we would have it!"
Let them not say, "We have swallowed him up."

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:
You have eyes to see, O Lord;
Let your being stir.
O Lord I know you are aware.
Awaken and come to my aid.
Be my trumpet and sword.
Slay the wrongdoer.
Let them know what it is
 to awaken your wrath.
You are the protector of the wronged.
Let them not think, "We have obliterated him."

THE PSALMIST PRAYS:
Let them be ashamed and be brought to
  mutual confusion
Who rejoice at my hurt;
Let them be clothed with shame and
 dishonor
Who exalt themselves against me.

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:
Let them be cowered and be brought to
  mental disdain
Those who would rejoice at my troubles;
Let them see what it is like to invoke your ire
Strike them from their horse
Let them wallow in the mud.
Those who laugh at me -
 let them know at last the pain in their own bones

I pray let them see O'Lord.
Let them know beauty
Let them know kindness.
Ever in your debt O'Lord.
Ever in your mind.

THE PSALMIST PRAYS:
Let them shout for joy and be glad,
Who favor my righteous cause;
And let them say continually,
"Let the Lord be magnified.
Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His
 servant."
And my tongue shall speak of Your
 righteousness
And of Your praise all the day long.

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:
Let them exclaim with good tidings,
 Who are for me;
Let them raise their voices continuously
 "That you O'Lord be praised on end
Who has riches and kindness on end."
And my voice shall ever be raised in praise
 of Your righteousness
And of Your glory all the day long.
