Listen up maggots! Psalms 35 is a prayer to God asking for protection against enemies. The psalmist pleads with God to fight his battles, since they are too many to fight alone. He asks God to be his shield and defender, to take away the wicked and their evil schemes. He also asks God to not let the wicked triumph over him. The psalmist then rejoices in the Lord, and praises Him for His deliverance. He calls on all the righteous to join him in praising the Lord. So, let's hear it! Praise the Lord!
