Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.

Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord.

Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me!

Awake and rouse yourself for my vindication, for my cause, my God and my Lord!

O LORD, oppose those who oppose me. Fight those who fight against me.

Wake up! Rise to my defense! Take up my case, my God and my Lord.

Oppose my opponents, LORD; fight those who fight me.

Wake up and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!

Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: Fight against them that fight against me.

Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, Even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

Plead my cause, O LORD, with those who strive with me; Fight against those who fight against me.

Stir up Yourself, and awake to my vindication, To my cause, my God and my Lord.

Harass these hecklers, GOD, punch these bullies in the nose. Grab a weapon, anything at hand; stand up for me! Get ready to throw the spear, aim the javelin, at the people who are out to get me. Reassure me; let me hear you say, “I’ll save you.”

Please get up—wake up! Tend to my case. My God, my Lord—my life is on the line. Do what you think is right, GOD, my God, but don’t make me pay for their good time. Don’t let them say to themselves, “Ha-ha, we got what we wanted.” Don’t let them say, “We’ve chewed him up and spit him out.” Let those who are being hilarious at my expense Be made to look ridiculous. Make them wear donkey’s ears; Pin them with the donkey’s tail, who made themselves so high and mighty!

Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me.

Stir Yourself, and awake to my right And to my cause, my God and my Lord.

Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; Fight against those who fight against me.

Wake Yourself up, and arise to my right And to my cause, my God and my Lord.

O LORD, fight those who fight with me! Attack those who attack me!

Rouse yourself, wake up and vindicate me! My God and Lord, defend my just cause!
