Pick up the shield and armor.
    Rise up and help me.
Lift up your spears, both large and small,
    against those who chase me.
Tell me, “I will save you.”

Make those who want to kill me
    be ashamed and disgraced.
Make those who plan to harm me
    turn back and run away.

Brandish spear(D) and javelin[a](E)
    against those who pursue me.
Say to me,
    “I am your salvation.(F)

May those who seek my life(G)
    be disgraced(H) and put to shame;(I)
may those who plot my ruin
    be turned back(J) in dismay.
