2. 1. Plead Lord, a - gainst con - tend - ing foes,
and fight with them who fight with me.

3. Take hold of buck - ler and of shield;
rise up and my de fend er be.

4. 2. Draw out the spear and stop the way
a - gainst the men pur su ing me;

5. and to my soul in mer - cy say,
“I am sal va tion un to thee.”

6. 3. Let those who seek to take my soul
them-selves be hum bled, shamed of face;

7. Let them be thwart - ed and turned back
who are de vis ing my dis grace.

8. 4. Let them be chaff be - fore the wind,
Je ho - vah’s an gel driv ing them;

9. All dark and slip - p’ry be their way,
Je ho vah’s an gel chas - ing them.
