3Bring forth a sword, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am your salvation.
4Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
5Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
6Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.
7For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.
8Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
