Psalms 35:5-10

⁵As chaff before wind may they be, with the Lord's angel pursuing them.

⁶Slippery and dark be their way, with his angel thrusting them on.

⁷For they wantonly hid their net for me, and dug a pit to destroy me.

⁸Upon them may ruin come unawares; may the net which they hid catch themselves, and into the pit may they fall.

⁹Then I will exult in the Lord, and be joyful because of his help;

¹⁰and all my being will say, “Who, O Lord, is like you, who save the helpless from those too strong for them, the poor and the helpless from those who despoil them?”
