2 Pick up the shield and armor.Rise up and help me.
3 Lift up your spears, both large and small,against those who chase me.Tell me, “I will save you.”
4 Make those who want to kill mebe ashamed and disgraced.Make those who plan to harm meturn back and run away.
5 Make them like chaff blown by the windas the angel of the Lord forces them away.
6 Let their road be dark and slipperyas the angel of the Lord chases them.
7 For no reason they spread out their net to trap me;for no reason they dug a pit for me.
8 So let ruin strike them suddenly.Let them be caught in their own nets;let them fall into the pit and die.
