4 May those who seek my life

be disgraced and put to shame;

may those who plot my ruin

be turned back in dismay.

5 May they be like chaff before the wind,

with the angel of the Lord driving them away;

6 may their path be dark and slippery,

with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul:

Let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.

5 Let them be as chaff before the wind:

And let the angel of the Lord chase them.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery:

And let the angel of the Lord persecute them.

4 Bring shame and disgrace on those trying to kill me;

turn them back and humiliate those who want to harm me.

5 Blow them away like chaff in the wind—

a wind sent by the angel of the Lord.

6 Make their path dark and slippery,

with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

4 Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor

Who seek after my life;

Let those be turned back and brought to confusion

Who plot my hurt.

5 Let them be like chaff before the wind,

And let the angel of the Lord chase them.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery,

And let the angel of the Lord pursue them.

4 Make those who want to kill me

be ashamed and disgraced.

Make those who plan to harm me

turn back and run away.

5 Make them like chaff blown by the wind

as the angel of the Lord forces them away.

6 Let their road be dark and slippery

as the angel of the Lord chases them.

4 Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul:

Let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.

5 Let them be as chaff before the wind,

And the angel of Jehovah driving them on.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery,

And the angel of Jehovah pursuing them.

4 Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek after my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that devise my hurt: 5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, and let the angel of Jehovah drive them away; 6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of Jehovah pursue them.

4 Let those who seek my life be put to shame and disgraced. 

Let those who plan my downfall be turned back in confusion. 

5 Let them be like husks blown by the wind 

as the Messenger of the Lord chases them. 

6 Let their path be dark and slippery 

as the Messenger of the Lord pursues them. 

4 Let those who seek to kill me

be disgraced and humiliated;

let those who plan to harm me

be turned back and ashamed.

5 Let them be like chaff in the wind,

with the angel of the Lord driving them away.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery,

with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

4 Let them be put to shame and dishonor

who seek after my life.

Let them be turned back and confounded

who devise evil against me.

5 Let them be like chaff before the wind,

with the angel of the Lord driving them on.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery,

with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.

4 Let those who seek my life be shamed and humiliated.

Let those who plot calamity against me be repulsed and ashamed.

5 Let them be like chaff before the wind,

with the angel of Yahweh driving them.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery,

with the angel of Yahweh pursuing them.

4 Let those who are trying to kill me

be brought down in dishonor.

Let those who plan to destroy me

be turned back in terror.

5 Let them be like straw blowing in the wind,

while the angel of the Lord drives them away.

6 Let their path be dark and slippery,

while the angel of the Lord chases them.

4 Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life;

Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.

5 Let them be like chaff before the wind,

With the angel of the Lord driving them on.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery,

With the angel of the Lord pursuing them.
