1. Lord, argue with those who argue with me;fight with those who fight against me!
2. Grab a shield and armor;stand up and help me!
3. Use your spear and axagainst those who are out to get me!Say to me: "I’m your salvation!"
4. Let those who want me deadbe humiliated and put to shame.Let those who intend to hurt mebe thoroughly frustrated and disgraced.
5. Let them be like dust on the wind—and let the Lord’s messenger be the one who does the blowing!
6. Let their path be dark and slippery—and let the Lord’s messenger be the one who does the chasing!
7. Because they hid their net for me for no reason,they dug a pit for me for no reason.
