1. For David himself.Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.
2. Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
3. Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
4. Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
5. Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
6. Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
