Call to Arms against Ungrateful Persecutors, Addressed to God
1 CONTEND, Jahve, with those who contend with me, Fight Thou against those who fight against me.
2 Lay hold of shield and buckler, And stand up as my help.
3 And draw forth the spear and shut up the way against
my persecutors, Say unto my soul: I am thy salvation.
t Let those be confounded and ashamed who seek after my soul, Let those fall back and be covered with shame who de- vise my hurt.
5 Let them become as chaff before the wind, The Angel of Jahve thrusting them away.
6 Let their way become darkness and slipperinesses, The Angel of Jahve pursuing them.
7 For without cause have they hid for me their net, Without cause a pit have they digged for my soul.
8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares, And let his net, which he hath hid, catch himself, With a crash let him fall into it.
9 So shall my soul exult in Jahve, It shall rejoice in His salvation.
10 All my bones shall say: Jahve, who is like unto Thee, Who deliverest the afflicted from him who is too strong
for him, The afflicted and the poor from him who robbeth him I
