2Lay hand vpon the shielde and buckler, and stand vp for mine helpe.
3Bring out also the speare and stop the way against them, that persecute me: say vnto my soule, I am thy saluation.
4Let them be confounded and put to shame, that seeke after my soule: let them be turned backe, and brought to confusion, that imagine mine hurt.
5Let them be as chaffe before the winde, and let the Angel of the Lord scatter them.
6Let their way be darke and slipperie: and let the Angel of the Lord persecute them.
7For without cause they haue hid the pit and their net for me: without cause haue they digged a pit for my soule.
8Let destruction come vpon him at vnwares, and let his net, that he hath laid priuilie, take him: let him fall into the same destruction.
9Then my soule shalbe ioyfull in the Lord: it shall reioyce in his saluation.
