Take hold of shield and buckler,
    and rise up to help me!
Draw the spear and javelin
    against my pursuers;
say to my soul,
    “I am your salvation.”

Let them be put to shame and dishonor
    who seek after my life.
Let them be turned back and confounded
    who devise evil against 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.
