1. Of David.Oppose, O Lord, those who oppose me;war upon those who make war upon me.
2. Take up the shield and buckler;rise up in my defense.
3. Brandish lance and battle-axagainst my pursuers.Say to my soul,“I am your salvation.”
4. Let those who seek my lifebe put to shame and disgrace.Let those who plot evil against mebe turned back and confounded.
5. Make them like chaff before the wind,with the angel of the Lord driving them on.
