3 Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers,

and assure me, “I am your deliverance.”i

4 Let those who intend to take my life

be disgraced and humiliated;

let those who plan to harm me

be turned back and ashamed.j

5 Let them be like chaff in the wind,

with the angel of the Lord driving them away.k

6 Let their way be dark and slippery,

with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.l
