Pick up your shield and your armor.
    Rise up and help me.
Get your spear and javelin ready to fight
    against those who are chasing me.
    Say to me, “I will save you.”

Let those who are trying to kill me
    be brought down in dishonor.
Let those who plan to destroy me
    be turned back in terror.

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.
