Rest in the earnest and prayerful words of Psalm 35, read from the King James Version and accompanied by the gentle sound of ocean waves.
Psalm 35 is a Psalm of appeal, deliverance, and trust in the righteous judgment of God. David brings his trouble before the Lord, asking Him to plead his cause, defend him from false witnesses, and rescue his soul from those who seek to harm him. It is a solemn Psalm, but also one that reminds us to entrust injustice, opposition, and fear into the hands of the Lord.
In this episode of Psalms and Tides, the steady rhythm of the sea creates a peaceful space for Scripture, prayer, reflection, and rest. As you listen, may Psalm 35 help you bring your burdens honestly before God, trust Him as your defender, and rest in the hope that He sees rightly and delivers faithfully.
Whether you are settling down for sleep, praying through conflict, or seeking quiet confidence in God’s care, may this gentle reading lead your heart away from fear and into deeper trust in the Lord.
Psalm 35, King James Version.
