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.
