Psalm 35 is a prayer to God asking for help against enemies who are attacking the psalmist without cause. The psalmist asks God to fight for them and deliver them from harm. It describes the enemies' harmful behavior and how the psalmist has responded with humility and prayer. The psalmist pleads for God to not ignore their cries for help, but to act with righteousness and vindicate them. It concludes by expressing confidence that God will be magnified as the enemies are put to shame and the righteous will rejoice in God's deliverance of the psalmist.
