Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me
Fight against those who fight against me.
Take hold of buckler and shield
And rise up as my help.
Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me
Say to my soul, "I am your salvation."
Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life
Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.
Let them be like chaff before the wind
With the angel of the LORD driving them on.
Let their way be dark and slippery
With the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
For they hid their net for me without cause
Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.
Let destruction come upon him when he is unaware
And let the net which he hid catch him
Let him fall into that very destruction.
So my soul shall rejoice in the LORD
It shall rejoice in His salvation.
All my bones will say, "LORD, Who is like You
Who rescues the afflicted from one who is too strong for him
And the afflicted and the poor from one who robs him?"
Malicious witnesses rise up
They ask me things I do not know.
They repay me evil for good
To the bereavement of my soul.
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth
I humbled my soul with fasting
But my prayer kept returning to me.
I went about as though it were my friend or brother
I bowed down in mourning, like one who mourns for a mother.
But at my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered themselves together
The afflicted people whom I did not know gathered together against me
They slandered me without ceasing.
Like godless jesters at a feast
They gnashed at me with their teeth.
Lord, how long will You look on?
Rescue my soul from their ravages
My only life from the lions.
I will give You thanks in the great congregation
I will praise You among a mighty people.
Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me
Nor let those who hate me for no reason wink maliciously.
For they do not speak peace
But they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
They opened their mouth wide against me
They said, "Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen it!"
You have seen it, LORD, do not keep silent
Lord, do not be far from me.
Stir Yourself, and awake to my right
And to my cause, my God and my Lord.
Judge me, LORD my God, according to Your righeousness
And do not let them rejoice over me.
Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha, our desire!"
Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up!"
May those be ashamed and altogether humiliated
Who rejoice at my distress
May those who exalt themselves over me
Be clothed with shame and dishonor.
May those shout for joy and rejoice
Who take delight in my vindication
And may they say continually, "The LORD be exalted
Who delights in the prosperity of His servant."
And my tongue shall proclaim Your righteousness
And Your praise all day long.
