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.
