Psalms 35:3

SalvationProtection and safety

1 Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me.

2 Take up Your shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.

Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”

4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.

5 May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.
