1. Oppose those who oppose me, Lord,and fight those who fight against me!
2. Take your shield and armourand come to my rescue.
3. Lift up your spear and your axeagainst those who pursue me.Promise that you will save me.
4. May those who try to kill mebe defeated and disgraced!May those who plot against mebe turned back and confused!
5. May they be like straw blown by the windas the angel of the Lord pursues them!
