1. Plead my cause, O Lord, with those that strive with me; fight against those that fight against me.
2. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up in my help.
3. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against those that persecute me; say unto my soul; I am thy saving health.
4. Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5. Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
