span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.35.1" class="versetxt"> 1 主よ、わたしと争う者とあらそい、わたしと戦う者と戦ってください。2 盾と大盾とを執って、わたしを助けるために立ちあがってください。3 やりと投げやりとを抜いて、わたしに追い迫る者に立ちむかい、「わたしはおまえの救である」と、わたしに言ってください。4 どうか、わたしの命を求める者をはずかしめ、いやしめ、わたしにむかって悪をたくらむ者を退け、あわてふためかせてください。5 彼らを風の前のもみがらのようにし、主の使に彼らを追いやらせてください。6 彼らの道を暗く、なめらかにし、主の使に彼らを追い行かせてください。7 彼らはゆえなくわたしのために網を隠し、ゆえなくわたしのために穴を掘ったからです。8 不意に滅びを彼らに臨ませ、みずから隠した網にとらえられ、彼らを滅びに陥らせてください。9 そのときわが魂は主によって喜び、その救をもって楽しむでしょう。10 わたしの骨はことごとく言うでしょう、「主よ、だれかあなたにたぐうべき者がありましょう。あなたは弱い者を強い者から助け出し、弱い者と貧しい者を、かすめ奪う者から助け出される方です」と。11 悪意のある証人が起って、わたしの知らない事をわたしに尋ねる。12 彼らは悪をもってわたしの善に報い、わが魂を寄るべなき者とした。13 しかし、わたしは彼らが病んだとき、荒布をまとい、断食してわが身を苦しめた。わたしは胸にこうべをたれて祈った、14 ちょうど、わが友、わが兄弟のために悲しんだかのように。わたしは母をいたむ者のように悲しみうなだれて歩きまわった。15 しかし彼らはわたしのつまずくとき、喜びつどい、ともに集まってわたしを責めた。わたしの知らない他国の者はわたしをののしってやめなかった。16 彼らはますます、けがす言葉をもってあざけり、わたしにむかって歯をかみならした。17 主よ、いつまであなたはながめておられますか、わたしを彼らの破壊から、わたしのいのちを若きししから救い出してください。18 わたしは大いなるつどいの中で、あなたに感謝し、多くの民の中で、あなたをほめたたえるでしょう。19 偽ってわたしの敵となった者どものわたしについて喜ぶことを許さないでください。ゆえなく、わたしを憎む者どものたがいに目くばせすることを許さないでください。20 彼らは平和を語らず、国のうちに穏やかに住む者にむかって欺きの言葉をたくらむからです。21 彼らはわたしにむかって口をあけひろげ、「あはぁ、あはぁ、われらの目はそれを見た」と言います。22 主よ、あなたはこれを見られました。もださないでください。主よ、わたしに遠ざからないでください。23 わが神、わが主よ、わがさばきのため、わが訴えのために奮いたち、目をさましてください。24 わが神、主よ、あなたの義にしたがってわたしをさばき、わたしの事について彼らを喜ばせないでください。25 彼らにその心のうちで、「あはぁ、われらの願ったことが達せられた」と言わせないでください。また彼らに「われらは彼を滅ぼしつくした」と言わせないでください。26 わたしの災を喜ぶ者どもをともに恥じ、あわてふためかせてください。わたしにむかって誇りたかぶる者どもに恥と、はずかしめとを着せてください。27 わたしの義を喜ぶ者をば喜びの声をあげて喜ばせ、「そのしもべの幸福を喜ばれる主は大いなるかな」とつねに言わせてください。28 わたしの舌はひねもすあなたの義と、あなたの誉とを語るでしょう。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Draw out also the spear,.... An offensive weapon; expressive of the vengeance which God sometimes takes of the enemies of his people, when he bends his bow, shoots his arrows, whets his glittering sword, and his hand takes hold of judgment;

and stop [the way] against them that persecute me; that they might not overtake him; God can hinder, and he sometimes does hinder persecutors from overtaking his people in their straits; and as he hedges up their way with thorns, that they cannot proceed as they have begun, so he hedges up the way of their enemies; interposes himself and his power, and is a wall of fire about them; a wall for the defence and security of his saints, and a wall of fire for the consumption of those that rise up against them. The words may be rendered, "draw out the spear and sword, to meet those that persecute me" p; for סגיר is a noun, and signifies a sword shut up in its scabbard; from whence "sagaris" comes, which is kind of a sword;

say unto my soul, I [am] thy salvation; Christ is the salvation of his people; he is the only person appointed, provided, promised, and sent to be the Saviour; and he is the alone author of salvation it is wrought out by him, and it is in him, and in him only; and therefore he is called their salvation, and the salvation of God: and they are interested in the salvation which is in him; it was designed, prepared, and wrought out for them, and for them only; and is applied unto them by the Spirit, and they shall perfectly enjoy it to all eternity: find yet sometimes they are at a loss about their interest in it, and desire might be made known unto them, which was the case of the psalmist here; they, as he, see their necessity it, and that there is no comfort nor safety without it they are wonderfully delighted with the excellency of it, that it is so great in itself, so suitable to them, so complete and perfect, and of an everlasting duration yet, what through the hidings of God's face, the temptations of Satan, the greatness of their sins, and the prevalence of unbelief, they cannot tell how to believe their interest in it; yet most earnestly desire the Lord would show it to them, and assure them of it; which favour, when granted, is by the witnessings of the Spirit to their spirits, that they are the children of God, and the redeemed of the Lamb: and this is said particularly to them; it is not a discovery of salvation by Christ in general; that they have before; but it is a saying to their souls, that it is theirs; and when this is spoken bathe to the soul by the Spirit of God, it is effectual; and removes unbelief at once, and fills with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

p So Grotius, Amama, Ainsworth, and some in Mollerus.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Draw out also the spear - The word here rendered “draw out” means properly to pour out; to empty; and it is applied to the act of emptying sacks, Genesis 42:35; to emptying bottles, Jeremiah 48:12; to drawing a sword from a sheath, Exodus 15:9; Leviticus 26:33; Ezekiel 5:12. It is applied to a “spear” either as drawing it out of the place where it was kept, or as stretching it out for the purposes of attack. The former probably is the meaning, and the idea is, that David prayed God to “arm himself” - as a warrior does - in order to defend him. The spear was a common weapon in ancient warfare. It was sometimes so short that it could be brandished as a sword in the hand, or hurled at an enemy, 1 Samuel 18:11; 1Sa 19:10; 1 Samuel 20:33; but it was usually made as long as it could be to be handled conveniently. The spear was a weapon of “attack.” The parts of armor referred to in Psalms 35:2 were designed for defense. The idea of the psalmist is that of a warrior prepared alike for attack or defense.

And stop the way against them that persecute me - The words “the way” are not in the original. The word rendered “stop” - סגר sâgar - means properly to shut, to close, as a door or gate, Job 3:10; 1 Samuel 1:5; Genesis 19:6, Genesis 19:10. The idea here, according to the usage of the word, is, Shut or close up the way against those that persecute me. So Gesenius renders it. Grotius, Michaelis, DeWette, and others, however, regard the word as a noun, signifying the same as the Greek - σάγαρις sagaris - a two-edged sword, such as was used by the Scythians, Persians, and Amazons. Herod. vii. 64. See Rosenmuller in loc. It is not so rendered, however, in any of the ancient versions. The Septuagint render it: “And shut up against those that persecute me;” the Vulgate, “Pre-occupy against those that persecute me;” the Aramaic has: “Shut up against those that persecute me.” The correct idea probably is that which is given in the common version. The psalmist prays that God would go forth to meet his enemies; that he would arrest and check them in their march; that he would hedge up their way, and that he would thus prevent them from attacking him.

Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation - Say to “me,” I will save you. That is, Give me some assurance that thou wilt interpose, and that thou wilt guard me from my enemies. Man only wants this assurance to be calm in respect to any danger. When God says to us that he will be our salvation; that he will protect us; that he will deliver us from sin, from danger, from hell, the mind may and will be perfectly calm. To a believer he gives this assurance; to all he is willing to give it. The whole plan of salvation is arranged with a view to furnish such an assurance, and to give a pledge to the soul that God “will” save. Death loses its terrors then; the redeemed man moves on calmly - for in all the future - in all worlds - he has nothing now to fear.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 35:3. Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. — Give me an assurance that thou wilt defend both body and soul against my adversaries.
