Of David.

1 Contend,¹ O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight² against those who fight against me. 2 Take up shield³ and buckler; arise⁴ and come to my aid.⁵ 3 Brandish spear⁶ and javelin^a⁷ against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, "I am your salvation.⁸" 4 May those who seek my life⁹ be disgraced¹⁰ and put to shame;¹¹ may those who plot my ruin be turned back¹² in dismay. 5 May they be like chaff¹³ before the wind, with the angel of the LORD¹⁴ driving them away; 6 may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
