Brandish your spear and battle-ax
    against those who pursue me.
Say to my soul,[a]
    “I am your salvation.”
May those who seek my life
    suffer shame and disgrace.
May those who plan my downfall
    be forced to retreat in disgrace.
May they be like chaff flying in the wind,[b]
    with the angel of the Lord scattering them.
