"Rouse yourself, wake up and vindicate me! My God and Lord, defend my just cause!"
— Psalms 35:23, NET Bible
“Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.”
“Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice due unto me, Even unto my cause, my God and my Lord. ”
“Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!”
“Be awake, O Lord, be moved to take up my cause, my God and my Lord.”
“Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.”
For they do not try to make peace with others, but plan ways to deceive those who live peacefully in the land.
They are ready to devour me; they say,“Aha! Aha! We’ve got you!”
But you take notice, LORD; do not be silent! O Lord, do not remain far away from me!
Rouse yourself, wake up and vindicate me! My God and Lord, defend my just cause!
Vindicate me by your justice, O LORD my God! Do not let them gloat over me!
Do not let them say to themselves,“Aha! We have what we wanted!” Do not let them say,“We have devoured him!”
May those who rejoice in my troubles be totally embarrassed and ashamed! May those who arrogantly taunt me be covered with shame and humiliation!
