2 Take hold of the large shield and small shield,and rise up for my help.
3 Draw the spear and javelinagainst those who pursue me.Say to my soul,“I am Your salvation.”
4 May those who seek my lifebe ashamed and humiliated;may those who plan my injurybe turned back and put to shame.
5 May they be as chaff before the wind,and may the angel of the Lord cast them down.
6 May their way be dark and slippery,and may the angel of the Lord pursue them.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit,which they have dug without cause for my soul.
8 Let destruction come on him without warning,and let the net that he hid ensnare him;let him fall into it, to his destruction.
