1 LOrd plead my righteous cause with them Who trouble me with [envious] strife, Fight against them that causelesly Do fight to take [away] my life.
2 Of shield and buckler take thou hold, Stand up [defend] and help thou me;
3 Draw out the spear, and stop their way That [causeless] persecutors be. Say to my soul, I will thee save.
4 Let them to [utter] shame be brought▪ Who seek my life, and plot my hurt, Them foil [confound] and bring to nought.
