1 O Lord, fight those who fight with me!Attack those who attack me!
2 Grab your small shield and large shield,and rise up to help me!
3 Use your spear and lance against those who chase me!Assure me with these words: “I am your deliverer!”
4 May those who seek my life be embarrassed and humiliated!May those who plan to harm me be turned back and ashamed!
5 May they be like wind-driven chaff,as the Lord’s angel attacks them!
6 May their path be dark and slippery,as the Lord’s angel chases them!
7 I did not harm them, but they hid a net to catch meand dug a pit to trap me.
