2 Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help.
3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against those who pursue me. Tell my soul, "I am your salvation."
4 Let those who seek after my soul be put to shame and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, The angel of Yahweh driving them on.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, The angel of Yahweh pursuing them.
7 For without cause have they hid their net in a pit for me. Without cause have they dug a pit for my soul.
8 Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Into that destruction let him fall.
