Psalm 35:1
Verse 1 of 28. The 35th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.
1Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
2Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
3Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
5Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
