1 A Psalm of David. Strive thou, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight thou against them that fight against me.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Let them be ashamed and brought to dishonour that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.
