A Psalm of David. Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
