Psalms 35:1-6

¹Of David. O Lord, be on my side against those who are judging me; be at war with those who make war against me.

²Be a breastplate to me, and give me your help.

³Take up your spear and keep back my attackers; say to my soul, I am your salvation.

⁴Let them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul; let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish.

⁵Let them be like dust from the grain before the wind; let the angel of the Lord send them in flight.

⁶Let their way be dark and full of danger; let them be troubled by the angel of the Lord.
