Psalms 35:3-10

³Draw your spear and your javelin, confront those who are chasing me. Tell me, “I am your salvation!”

⁴Shame them! Humiliate those who are trying to kill me! Turn them back! Disgrace those who are planning to hurt me!

⁵Let them be like chaff blown by the wind; let the angel of the Lord drive them away.

⁶May their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord chasing them down.

⁷For no reason they set a net to catch me; for no reason they dug a pit to trap me.

⁸Let disaster come on them suddenly; let the net they set catch them instead; let the pit they dug trap them instead.

⁹Then I will be glad in the Lord; I will be happy in his salvation.

¹⁰Every part of me will say, Who can compare to you, Lord? You rescue the weak from the strong; the poor and needy from robbers.
