1 Of David.Oppose, O Lord, those who oppose me;war upon those who make war upon me.
2 Take up the shield and buckler;rise up in my defense.
3 Brandish lance and battle-axagainst my pursuers.Say to my soul,“I am your salvation.”
4 Let those who seek my lifebe put to shame and disgrace.Let those who plot evil against mebe turned back and confounded.
5 Make them like chaff before the wind,with the angel of the Lord driving them on.
