Psalms 34:2-10

²Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.

³Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.

⁴Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.

⁵Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.

⁶Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.

⁷For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.

⁸Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.

⁹But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.

¹⁰All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
