00:10.040 --> 00:17.760
Contend with them, O Lord, who contend
with me, And fight against the ones who

00:17.760 --> 00:19.780
now fight with me.

00:20.260 --> 00:25.040
Armed with your shield and buckler,
rise up to my aid.

00:25.420 --> 00:32.960
Draw out the spear and stop my foes as
they give chase, And say to my soul,

00:33.220 --> 00:37.000
I am your deliverance.

00:39.560 --> 00:44.080
Dishonor those who seek my soul,
put them to shame.

00:44.480 --> 00:49.120
Confound and turn them back who plot to
bring me pain.

00:49.380 --> 00:54.180
Let them be like the chap before the
driving wind.

00:54.640 --> 00:59.240
In dark and slippery paths, let your angel
chase them.

00:59.240 --> 01:06.380
But say to my soul, I am your deliverance.

01:08.180 --> 01:13.240
For without cause they hid their net deep
in a hole.

01:13.640 --> 01:18.500
Without a cause they dug a pit to snare my
soul.

01:19.040 --> 01:23.220
Let ruin come upon them when they're
unaware.

01:23.880 --> 01:28.640
And let the net they hid from me become
their snare.

01:28.640 --> 01:35.840
And say to my soul, I am your deliverance.

01:37.880 --> 01:47.960
Then my soul shall rejoice in the Lord,
exalting in His deliverance.

01:47.960 --> 01:52.740
All my bones say, who is like your Lord?

01:53.100 --> 01:58.580
You who save the weak and the needy ones.

02:10.620 --> 02:15.440
False witnesses rise up to ask me things
unknown.

02:15.960 --> 02:20.200
For good they pay back evil and my soul's
forlorn.

02:21.060 --> 02:25.840
When they were sick I prayed with fastened
sackcloth worn.

02:25.840 --> 02:31.100
As one laments his mother I bowed down and
mourned.

02:31.620 --> 02:38.100
Oh say to my soul, I am your deliverance.

02:39.780 --> 02:44.900
But when I stumbled they rejoiced and
gathered in.

02:45.320 --> 02:50.260
These smiters whom I knew not slandered
without end.

02:50.680 --> 02:55.300
These feasting hypocrites mocked me and
gnashed their teeth.

02:55.300 --> 02:58.340
How long, oh Lord, will you look on?

02:58.580 --> 03:00.600
Please rescue me.

03:00.840 --> 03:07.540
And say to my soul, I am your deliverance.

03:10.020 --> 03:19.500
Rescue me from their ravages and my life
from all these lions.

03:20.100 --> 03:29.360
Then I'll thank you, oh Lord, and praise
you in the great congregation.

03:42.780 --> 03:47.520
Let not these foes without a cause reign
over me.

03:47.880 --> 03:52.800
Against the quiet in the land they speak
no peace.

03:53.140 --> 03:57.880
With lying words they open wide their
mouths at me.

03:57.880 --> 04:03.120
Ah ha, they say, ah ha, for now our eyes
have seen.

04:03.540 --> 04:09.840
Oh say to my soul, I am your deliverance.

04:12.440 --> 04:17.460
Oh Lord, you've seen, do not be silent or
far off.

04:17.580 --> 04:22.460
To my right cause awaken, oh my Lord and
God.

04:22.940 --> 04:27.440
Lord, in your righteousness prove me,
let them not win.

04:27.440 --> 04:32.620
Nor let them ever say, now we have
swallowed him.

04:32.880 --> 04:39.640
Please say to my soul, I am your
deliverance.

04:41.940 --> 04:51.880
Let all those who desire my good shout for
joy and be glad and proclaim evermore.

04:52.600 --> 04:56.780
Great is the Lord who delights in our
health.

04:56.780 --> 05:07.940
Now my tongue will give praise for he says
of my soul, I am your deliverance,

05:08.480 --> 05:12.840
I am your deliverance.
