1 O lord, oppose those who oppose me.Fight those who fight against me.
2 Put on your armor, and take up your shield.Prepare for battle, and come to my aid.
3 Lift up your spear and javelinagainst those who pursue me.Let me hear you say,“I will give you victory!”
4 Bring shame and disgrace on those trying to kill me;turn them back and humiliate those who want to harm me.
5 Blow them away like chaff in the wind—a wind sent by the angel of the lord.
6 Make their path dark and slippery,with the angel of the lord pursuing them.
7 I did them no wrong, but they laid a trap for me.I did them no wrong, but they dug a pit to catch me.
