Be my shield and protection;
    stand with me and rescue me!
Draw the spear and javelin
    to meet my pursuers.
Reassure my soul and say,
    “I will deliver you.”

Shame and dishonor those ruthless enemies
    who wish to end my life.
Turn back those who conspire against me,
    defeated and humiliated!

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.
