The Lord the Avenger of His People

A Psalm of David.

1 Plead1 my cause, O Lord, with those who strive with me;
Fight against those who fight against me. 
2 Take hold of shield and1 buckler,
And stand up for my help. 
3 Also draw out the spear,
And stop those who pursue me.
Say to my soul,
“I am your salvation.”
4 aLet those be put to shame and brought to dishonor
Who seek after my life;
Let those be bturned back and brought to confusion
Who plot my hurt. 
5 aLet them be like chaff before the wind,
And let the1 angel of the Lord chase them. 
6 Let their way be adark and slippery,
And let the angel of the Lord pursue them. 
7 For without cause they have ahidden their net for me in a pit,
Which they have dug without cause for my life. 
8 Let adestruction come upon him unexpectedly,
And let his net that he has hidden catch himself;
Into that very destruction let him fall. 
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord;
It shall rejoice in His salvation.
10 aAll my bones shall say,
“Lord, bwho is like You,
Delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him,
Yes, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?”
