1  Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: ^bfight against them that fight against me.

  16-17  For shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

  37  And I, the Lord, would ^afight their battles, and their children's battles, and their children's children's, until they had avenged themselves on all their enemies, to the third and fourth generation.

  14  For behold, I do not require at their hands to fight the battles of Zion; for, as I said in a former commandment, even so will I fulfil—I will ^afight your battles.
