“Contend, Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. Take up shield and armor; arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to me, “I am your salvation.” Lord, you have seen this; do not be silent. Do not be far from me, Lord. My tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praises all day long.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭35:1-3, 22, 28‬ ‭NIV‬‬
