Aim your spear at everyone who hunts me down, but promise to save me.
I trust you to save me, LORD God, and I won't be afraid. My power and my strength come from you, and you have saved me.”
Brutal people may attack and try to kill me, but they will stumble. Fierce enemies may attack, but they will fall.
You will live a long life and see my saving power.”
Make me as happy as you did when you saved me; make me want to obey!
They did what you in your power and wisdom had already decided would happen.
With my own eyes I have seen what you have done to save your people,
The Lord will do what he has planned against Jerusalem and Mount Zion. Then he will punish the proud and boastful king of Assyria,
Even the most angry people will praise you when you are furious.
God saves me and honours me. He is that mighty rock where I find safety.
“You are like a wall protecting not only him, but his entire family and all his property. You make him successful in whatever he does, and his flocks and herds are everywhere.
Our LORD, I am waiting for you to save us.
