3 Draw the spear and javelinagainst my pursuers!Say to my soul,“I am your salvation!”
4 Let them be put to shame and dishonorwho seek after my life!Let them be turned back and disappointedwho 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!
7 For without cause they hid their net for me;without cause they dug a pit for my life.
8 Let destruction come upon him when he does not know it!And let the net that he hid ensnare him;let him fall into it—to his destruction!
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord, exulting in his salvation.
