- Contend, O LORD, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.
- Take up shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
- Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, "I am your salvation."
- May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay.
- May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them away;
|
- may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
- Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me,
- may ruin overtake them by surprise-- may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
