Direct our actions, Lord, by your holy inspiration and carry
them forward by your gracious help, that all our works may begin in you and by
you be happily ended. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who
lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and
ever. Amen
1 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
fight against
those who fight against me!
2 Take hold of shield and buckler
and rise for my
help!
3 Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers!
Say to my soul, “I
am your salvation!”
4 Let them be put to shame and dishonor
who seek after my
life!
Let them be turned back and disappointed
who devise evil
against me!
5 Let them be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of
the Lord driving them away!
6 Let their way be dark and slippery,
with the angel of
the Lord pursuing them!
