Of David.

Contend, O Yahweh, with those who contend with me;

Take hold of [fn]shield and large shield

And rise up for my help.

Draw also the spear and [fn]the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me;

Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”

Let them be like chaff before the wind,

With the angel of Yahweh driving them on.

With the angel of Yahweh pursuing them.

Without cause they dug a [fn]pit for my soul.

It shall be joyful in His salvation.

It is bereavement to my soul.

I humbled my soul with fasting,

And my prayer kept returning to my bosom.

I bowed down [fn]mourning, as one who sorrows for a mother.

The [fn]smiters whom I did not know gathered together against me,

They tore at me and never were silent.

Amongst the godless jesters at a feast,

They gnashed at me with their teeth.

Lord, how long will You look on?

Bring back my soul from their ravages,

My only life from the lions.

But they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.

Stir up Yourself, and awake to my justice

And to my cause, my God and my Lord.

And do not let them be glad over me.

And let them say continually, “Yahweh be magnified,

Who delights in the peace of His slave.”

And Your praise all day long.
