By David.

[1] Contend, Yahweh, with those who contend with me.
Fight against those who fight against me.
[2] Take hold of shield and buckler,
and stand up for my help.
[3] Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me.
Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”
[4] Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor.
Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
[5] Let them be as chaff before the wind,
Yahweh’s angel driving them on.
[6] Let their way be dark and slippery,
Yahweh’s angel pursuing them.
[7] For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me.
Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
[8] Let destruction come on him unawares.
Let his net that he has hidden catch himself.
Let him fall into that destruction. [9] My soul shall be joyful in Yahweh.
It shall rejoice in his salvation.
[10] All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you,
who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him;
yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
[11] Unrighteous witnesses rise up.
They ask me about things that I don’t know about.
[12] They reward me evil for good,
to the bereaving of my soul. [13] But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth.
I afflicted my soul with fasting.
My prayer returned into my own bosom.
[14] I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother.
I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
[15] But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together.
The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I didn’t know it.
They tore at me, and didn’t cease.
[16] Like the profane mockers in feasts,
they gnashed their teeth at me.
[17] Lord, how long will you look on?
Rescue my soul from their destruction,
my precious life from the lions.
[18] I will give you thanks in the great assembly.
I will praise you among many people.
[19] Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me;
neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
[20] For they don’t speak peace,
but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
[21] Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me.
They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”
[22] You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent.
Lord, don’t be far from me.
[23] Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God!
My Lord, contend for me!
[24] Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness.
Don’t let them gloat over me.
[25] Don’t let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!”
Don’t let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
[26] Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity.
Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me. [27] Let those who favor my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad.
Yes, let them say continually, “May Yahweh be magnified,
who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
[28] My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
King James Version

A Psalm of David. H1732

[1] Plead H7378 my cause, O Lord, H3068 with H854 them that strive H3401 with H854 me:
Fight H3898 against them that fight H3898 against me.
[2] Take hold H2388 of shield H4043 and buckler, H6793
And stand up H6965 for mine help. H5833
[3] Draw out H7324 also the spear, H2595 and stop H5462 the way against H7125 them that persecute H7291 me:
Say H559 unto my soul, H5315 I am thy salvation. H3444
[4] Let them be confounded H954 and put to shame H3637 that seek H1245 after my soul: H5315
Let them be turned H5472 back H268 and brought to confusion H2659 that devise H2803 my hurt. H7451
[5] Let them be as chaff H4671 before H6440 the wind: H7307
And let the angel H4397 of the Lord H3068 chase H1760 them.
[6] Let their way H1870 be dark H2822 and slippery: H2519§
And let the angel H4397 of the Lord H3068 persecute H7291 them.
[7] For without cause H2600 have they hid H2934 for me their net H7568 in a pit, H7845
Which without cause H2600 they have digged H2658 for my soul. H5315
[8] Let destruction H7722 come H935 upon him at unawares; H3045§ H3808 and let his net H7568 that he hath hid H2934 catch H3920 himself:
Into that very destruction H7722 let him fall. H5307
[9] And my soul H5315 shall be joyful H1523 in the Lord: H3068
It shall rejoice H7797 in his salvation. H3444
[10] All H3605 my bones H6106 shall say, H559 Lord, H3068 who is like unto thee, which deliverest H5337 the poor H6041 from him that is too strong H2389 for him,
Yea, the poor H6041 and the needy H34 from him that spoileth H1497 him?
[11] False H2555 witnesses H5707§ did rise up; H6965
They laid§ to my charge H7592 things that I knew H3045 not.
[12] They rewarded H7999 me evil H7451 for good H2896
To the spoiling H7908§ of my soul. H5315
[13] But as for me, when they were sick, H2470 my clothing H3830 was sackcloth: H8242 I humbled H6031§ my soul H5315 with fasting; H6685
And my prayer H8605 returned H7725 into mine own bosom. H2436
[14] I behaved H1980§ myself as though he had been my friend H7453 or brother: H251
I bowed down H7817 heavily, H6937 as one that mourneth H57 for his mother. H517
[15] But in mine adversity H6761§ they rejoiced, H8055 and gathered themselves together: H622
Yea, the abjects H5222 gathered themselves together H622 against H5921 me, and I knew H3045 it not; they did tear H7167 me, and ceased H1826 not:
[16] With hypocritical H2611 mockers H3934 in feasts, H4580
They gnashed H2786 upon H5921 me with their teeth. H8127
[17] Lord, H136 how long wilt thou look on? H7200
Rescue H7725 my soul H5315 from their destructions, H7722 my darling H3173§ from the lions. H3715
[18] I will give thee thanks H3034 in the great H7227 congregation: H6951
I will praise H1984 thee among much H6099§ people. H5971
[19] Let not them that are mine enemies H341 wrongfully H8267§ rejoice H8055 over me:
Neither let them wink H7169 with the eye H5869 that hate H8130 me without a cause. H2600
[20] For H3588 they speak H1696 not H3808 peace: H7965
But they devise H2803 deceitful H4820 matters H1697 against them that are quiet H7282 in the land. H776
[21] Yea, they opened their mouth H6310 wide H7337 against me,
And said, H559 Aha, H1889 aha, H1889 our eye H5869 hath seen H7200 it.
[22] This thou hast seen, H7200 O Lord: H3068 keep not silence: H2790
O Lord, H136 be not far H7368 from me.
[23] Stir up H5782 thyself, and awake H6974 to my judgment, H4941
Even unto my cause, H7379 my God H430 and my Lord. H136
[24] Judge H8199 me, O Lord H3068 my God, H430 according to thy righteousness; H6664
And let them not rejoice H8055 over me.
[25] Let them not say H559 in their hearts, H3820 Ah, H1889 so would we have it: H5315§
Let them not say, H559 We have swallowed him up. H1104
[26] Let them be ashamed H954 and brought to confusion H2659 together H3162 that rejoice H8056 at mine hurt: H7451
Let them be clothed H3847 with shame H1322 and dishonour H3639 that magnify H1431 themselves against me.
[27] Let them shout for joy, H7442 and be glad, H8055 that favour H2655 my righteous cause: H6664§
Yea, let them say H559 continually, H8548 Let the Lord H3068 be magnified, H1431 which hath pleasure H2655 in the prosperity H7965 of his servant. H5650
[28] And my tongue H3956 shall speak H1897 of thy righteousness H6664
And of thy praise H8416 all H3605 the day H3117 long.
