1. Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me;fight against those who fight against me.
2. Take up shield and armour;arise and come to my aid.
3. Brandish spear and javelinagainst those who pursue me.Say to me,‘I am your salvation.’
4. May those who seek my lifebe disgraced and put to shame;may those who plot my ruinbe turned back in dismay.
