3 Draw out also a spear and battle-axe. Stop those who pursue me. Say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
4 May those who seek my life be ashamed and disgraced. May they be turned back and humiliated —those who plot evil against me.
5 May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of Adonai driving them off.
6 May their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of Adonai pursuing them.
7 For without cause they hid their net for me, and without cause they dug a pit for my soul.
8 Let ruin come upon him by surprise. Let the net he hid entangle himself —into that same pit let him fall.
9 Then my soul will rejoice in Adonai and delight in His salvation.
