⁵⁸ Lord, you have come to my defense;
    you have redeemed my life.

²² But the Lord will redeem those who serve him.
    No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

¹ O Lord, oppose those who oppose me.
    Fight those who fight against me.

“I will be your lawyer to plead your case,
    and I will avenge you.
I will dry up her river,
    as well as her springs,

³⁴ But the one who redeems them is strong.
    His name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
He will defend them
    and give them rest again in Israel.
But for the people of Babylon
    there will be no rest!

⁴ He redeems me from death
    and crowns me with love and tender mercies.

²³ I will shout for joy and sing your praises,
    for you have ransomed me.

¹⁶ the Angel who has redeemed me from all harm—
    may he bless these boys.
May they preserve my name
    and the names of Abraham and Isaac.
And may their descendants multiply greatly
    throughout the earth.”
