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. 5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and the angel of the LORD driving them on. 6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and the angel of the LORD pursuing them. 7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, without cause have they digged a pit for my soul. 8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: with destruction let him fall therein. Psalms 35:1-8, English Revised Version. Public domain.
