1 Lord, argue with those who argue with me;fight with those who fight against me!
2 Grab a shield and armor;stand up and help me!
3 Use your spear and axagainst those who are out to get me!Say to me: "I’m your salvation!"
4 Let those who want me deadbe humiliated and put to shame.Let those who intend to hurt mebe thoroughly frustrated and disgraced.
5 Let them be like dust on the wind—and let the Lord’s messenger be the one who does the blowing!
6 Let their path be dark and slippery—and let the Lord’s messenger be the one who does the chasing!
