A Prayer for Help[a]

35 Oppose those who oppose me, Lord,
    and fight those who fight against me!
Take your shield and armor
    and come to my rescue.
Lift up your spear and war ax
    against those who pursue me.
Promise that you will save me.

May those who try to kill me
    be defeated and disgraced!
May those who plot against me
    be turned back and confused!
May they be like straw blown by the wind
    as the angel of the Lord pursues them!
May their path be dark and slippery
    while the angel of the Lord strikes them down!
