Prayer for Rescue from Enemies.

[A Psalm] of David.

  1 Contend°, O LORD°, with those who acontend° with me;
  Fight° against° those who bfight° against me.
  2 Take° hold° of I abuckler° and shield°
  And rise° up for bmy help°.
  3 Draw° also the spear° and Ithe battle-axe° to meet° those who pursue° me;
  Say° to my soul°, “I am ayour salvation°.”
  4 Let those be aashamed° and dishonored° who seek° my Ilife°;
  Let those be bturned° back° and humiliated° who devise° evil° against me.
  5 Let them be alike chaff° before° the wind°,
  With the angel° of the LORD° driving° [them] on.
  6 Let their way° be dark° and aslippery°,
  With the angel° of the LORD° pursuing° them.
  7 For awithout° cause° they bhid° their net° for me;
  Without° cause° they dug° a Ipit° for my soul°.
  8 Let adestruction° come° upon him unawares°°,
  And blet the net° which° he hid° catch° himself;
  Into that very cdestruction° let him fall°.

David prayeth for this own safety, and his enemies' confusion.

1 ¶ [[[A Psalm] of David.]]º Pleadº ª [my cause], O LORD,º with² them that striveº with me: fight¹ ª against² ² them that fight¹ ª against² me. 2 Take holdº ª of shieldº and buckler,º and stand upº ª for mine help.º 3 Draw outº ª also the spear,º and stopº ª [the way] againstº ª them that persecuteº ª me: sayº ª unto my soul,º I² [am] thy salvation.º 4 Let them be confoundedº ª and put to shameº ª that seek¹ ª after² my soul:º let them be turnedº ª backº and brought to confusionº ª that deviseº ª my hurt.º 5 Let them be² as chaffº beforeº the wind:º and let the angelº of the LORDº chaseº ª [them]. 6 Let their wayº be² darkº and slippery:º and let the angelº of the LORDº persecuteº ª them. 7 For² without causeº have they hidº ª for me their netº [in] a pit,º [which] without causeº they have diggedº ª for my soul.º 8 Let destructionº come¹ ª upon² him at unawares;º º ª and let his netº that² he hath hidº ª catchº ª himself: into that very destructionº let him fall.º ª 9 And my soulº shall be joyfulº ª in the LORD:º it shall rejoiceº ª in his salvation.º 10 All² my bonesº shall say,º ª LORD,º who² [is] like unto thee,² which deliverestº ª the poorº from him that is too strongº ² for² him, yea, the poorº and the needyº from him that spoilethº ª ² him?

He complaineth of their wrongful dealing.

11 Falseº witnessesº did rise up;º ª they laid to my chargeº ª [things] that² I knewº ª not.² 12 They rewardedº ª me evilº for² goodº [to] the spoilingº of my soul.º 13 But as for me,² when they were sick,º ª my clothingº [was] sackcloth:º I humbledº ª my soulº with fasting;º and my prayerº returnedº ª into² mine own bosom.º 14 I behaved¹ ª myself² as though [he had been] my friendº [or] brother:º I bowed downº ª heavily,º ª as one that mournethº [for his] mother.º 15 But in mine adversityº they rejoiced,º ª and gathered themselves together:º ª [yea], the abjectsº gathered themselves togetherº ª against² me, and I knewº ª [it] not;² they did tearº ª [me], and ceasedº ª not:² 16 With hypocriticalº mockersº in feasts,º they gnashedº ª upon² me with their teeth.º 17 Lord,º how long² wilt thou look on?º ª rescueº ª my soulº from their destructions,º ² my darlingº from the lions.º ² 18 I will give thee thanksº ª in the greatº congregation:º I will praiseº ª thee among muchº people.º 19 Let not² them that are mine enemiesº ª wrongfullyº rejoiceº ª over me: [neither] let them winkº ª with the eyeº that hateº ª me without a cause.º 20 For² they speakº ª not² peace:º but they deviseº ª deceitfulº mattersº against² [them that are] quietº in the land.º 21 Yea, they opened² their mouthº wide¹ ª against² me, [and] said,º ª Aha,º aha,º our eyeº hath seenº ª [it].
