Psalms 35:1-6

¹A psalm of David. Yahweh, work against those who work against me; fight against those who fight against me.

²Grab your small shield and large shield; rise up and help me.

³Use your spear and battle ax against those who chase me; say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”

⁴May those who seek my life be shamed and dishonored. May those who plan to harm me be turned back and confounded.

⁵May they be as chaff before the wind, as the angel of Yahweh drives them away.

⁶May their way be dark and slippery, as the angel of Yahweh chases them.
