Psalms 35:1-4

¹“A psalm of David.” Contend, O LORD! with them that contend with me! Fight against them that fight against me!

²Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help!

³Draw forth the spear and the axe against my persecutors; Say to me, “I am thy salvation.”

⁴May they be confounded and put to shame, who seek my life; May they be turned back with disgrace, who devise my hurt!
