Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me;
LORD, and fight against those who fight against me!
Take up the shield and buckler;
LORD arise to my aid.
Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me.
Say to my soul, I am your salvation.
Say to my soul, I am your salvation.
I am your salvation.
May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame;
May those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay.
May they be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of God driving them away;
And may their path be dark and
slippery, with the angel of God driving them away
Since they hid a net for me without cause
And since they dug a pit for me without cause
May ruin overtake them now suddenly-
May the net that they hid there entangle them,
May they fall in the pit that they dug for me,
May they fall to their ruin.
Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD
Then my soul will delight in his salvation.
Then my whole being will exclaim
Who is like you, O LORD? Who is like you.
