Psalm 35 /1 commentary

„Nech ma Hospodin chráni, aby som svojmu pánovi, Pánovho pomazanému, niečo také vykonal a napadol ho. Je predsa Pánov pomazaný.“

..... Neprehrešil som sa proti tebe, ty však sliediš po mne, aby si ma pripravil o život.

13 Nech medzi mnou a tebou rozhodne Pán a nech nad tebou vykoná pomstu za mňa. Moja ruka sa ťa však nedotkne. 14 Ako hovorí staré príslovie: Zločinu sa dopúšťajú zločinci. No moja ruka sa ťa nedotkne.

16 Nech teda rozhodne Hospodin a nech rozsúdi medzi mnou a tebou, nech preskúma a vedie môj spor, nech ma vyslobodí z tvojej moci.

The Mosaic figure of Jahve as a man of war (אישׁ מלחמה, Exodus 15:3; Deuteronomy 32:41.) is worked out here with brilliant colours, under the impulse of a wrathful spirit. But we see from Psalm 35:3 what a spiritual meaning, nevertheless, the whole description is intended to convey. In God's intervention, thus manifested in facts, he would gladly hear His consolatory utterance to himself. The burden of his cry is that God's love may break through the present outward appearance of wrath and make itself felt by him.

Mojžišova postava Jahveho ako bojovníka (אישׁ מלחמה, Exodus 15:3; Deuteronómium 32:41) je tu vykreslená žiarivými farbami, pod vplyvom hnevlivého ducha. Ale zo Žalmu 35:3 vidíme, aký duchovný význam má napriek tomu celý opis vyjadriť. Pri Božom zásahu, takto prejavenom v skutočnostiach, by rád počul Jeho utešujúce slovo k sebe samému. Ťarchou jeho volania je, aby Božia láska prerazila súčasný vonkajší prejav hnevu a dala sa mu pocítiť.

PLEAD MY CAUSE

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Plead my cause, O Lord - The word "plead" means, properly, to argue in support of a claim, or against the claim of another; to urge reasons for or against; to attempt to persuade one by argument or supplication; as, to plead for the life of a criminal, that is, to urge reasons why he should be acquitted or pardoned; and then, to supplicate with earnestness in any way. The original word used here - רוב rûb - means to contend, strive, quarrel; and then, to contend before a judge, to manage or plead a cause. The idea here is, that the psalmist desires that God would undertake his cause against those who had risen up against him, as if it were managed before a tribunal, or before a judge, and God should be the advocate. The same word is used, in another form, in the other member of the sentence - "with them that strive - יריבי yârı̂ybāy - against me." The idea is, that they were "pleading" against him, or were urging arguments, as it were, before a tribunal or a judge, why he should be condemned. They were his bitter opponents, engaged in bringing all manner of false accusations against him, and seeking his condemnation. The psalmist felt that he could not manage his own cause against them; and he, therefore, pleads with God that He would interpose, and stand up for him.

Fight against them that fight against me - The same idea substantially occurs here as in the former member of the verse. It is a prayer that God would undertake his cause; that He would exert His power against those who were opposed to him.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

PSALM 35

Ps 35:1-28. The Psalmist invokes God's aid, contrasting the hypocrisy, cunning, and malice of his enemies with his integrity and generosity. The imprecations of the first part including a brief notice of their conduct, the fuller exposition of their hypocrisy and malice in the second, and the earnest prayer for deliverance from their scornful triumph in the last, are each closed (Ps 35:9, 10, 18, 27, 28) with promises of praise for the desired relief, in which his friends will unite. The historical occasion is probably 1Sa 24:1-22.

1-3. God is invoked in the character of a warrior (Ex 15:3; De 32:41).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Psalm 35:1

"Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me." Plead against those who plead against me; strive with my strivers; contend with my contenders. If they urge their suit in the law-court, Lord, meet them there, and beat them at their own weapons. Every saint of God shall have this privilege: the accuser of the brethren shall be met by the Advocate of the saints. "Fight against them that fight against me." If my adversaries try force as well as fraud, be a match for them; oppose thy strength to their strength. Jesus does this for all his beloved - for them he is both intercessor and champion; whatever aid they need they shall receive from him, and in whatever manner they are assaulted they shall be effectually defended. Let us not fail to leave our case into the Lord's hand. Vain is the help of man, but ever effectual is the interposition of heaven. What is here asked for as a boon, may be regarded as a promise, to all the saints; in judgment they shall have a divine advocate, in warfare a divine protection.

Psalm 35:1

-----------------------------------------------

Psalm 35:2

"Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help." In vivid metaphor the Lord is pictured as coming forth armed for battle, and interposing himself between his servant and his enemies. The greater and lesser protections of providence may be here intended by the two defensive weapons, find by the Lord's standing up is meant his active and zealous preservation of his servant in the perilous hour. This poetic imagery shows how the Psalmist realised the existence and power of God; and thought of him as a real and actual personage, truly working for his afflicted.

continued...THE ARGUMENT

This Psalm was penned by David when he was slandered and persecuted by Saul and his stewards, as is manifest from the whole body of it.

David prayeth for his own safety, Psalm 35:1,2, and his enemies’ destruction, Psalm 35:3-10; showeth their falsehood, and unthankfulness, and malice, Psalm 35:11-21. He prayeth for their confussion, Psalm 35:22-26; but for the preservation and joy of the godly, Psalm 35:27,28.

Seeing I am unable to right myself and the magistrates refuse to do me justice, be thou my Patron and Protector.

----------------------------

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me,.... Meaning Saul and his courtiers; concerning whom he elsewhere desires that the Lord would judge between them, plead his cause, and deliver him; as he accordingly did, and maintained it, and the righteousness of it, 1 Samuel 24:12. So Christ pleaded not his own cause as man, but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously; and his people leave their cause with him, who is their advocate, and is able to plead it thoroughly; and does plead it against wicked and ungodly men, who unrighteously charge them; against. Satan the accuser of the brethren, who stands at their right hand to resist them; and against their own hearts, and the sins of them, which lust and war against them, and condemn them;

fight against them that fight against me: so the Lord is sometimes represented as a man of war, and Christ as a warrior fighting for the saints; and safe are they on whose side he is; but miserable all such who are found fighters against him and his; for none ever opposed him and prospered.

Geneva Study Bible

<<A Psalm of David.>> Plead my {a} cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

(a) He desires God to undertake his cause against them who persecute him and slander him.

Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

1. Plead my cause] There is as it were a suit between him and his enemies. He appeals to Jehovah the Judge to do him justice (cp. Psalm 35:23-24). But the court in which the cause is to be tried is the field of battle; and therefore (dropping the figure of a suit) he calls on Jehovah to arm on his behalf. So in Psalm 9:4 victory is regarded as a judicial decision. Cp. 1 Samuel 24:15; 1 Samuel 25:39. The renderings strive with them that strive with me (R.V.); or, (as Isaiah 49:25), contend with them that contend with me, obscure this point, and miss the connexion with Psalm 35:23. Plead my cause with them that implead me (Cheyne) represents the original better.

1–3. Appeal to Jehovah to arm himself as the Psalmist’s champion.
