Psalms

²Pick up your shields, large and small. Get up and help me! ³Take a spear and javelin and fight those who are chasing me. Tell me, “I will rescue you.” ⁴Some people are trying to kill me. Disappoint them and make them ashamed. Make them turn and run away. They are planning to hurt me. Defeat and embarrass them. ⁵Make them like chaff blown by the wind. Let them be chased by the Lord’S angel. ⁶Make their road dark and slippery. Let the Lord’S angel chase them. ⁷I did nothing wrong, but they tried to trap me. For no reason at all, they dug a pit to catch me. ⁸So let them fall into their own traps. Let them stumble into their own nets. Let some unknown danger catch them.
