Hold your spear to block the way of those who pursue me. Say to my soul, “I am your savior.”
“I wait with hope for you to rescue me, O Lord.
Haven’t you put a protective fence around him, his home, and everything he has? You have blessed everything he does. His cattle have spread out over the land.
Evildoers closed in on me to tear me to pieces. My opponents and enemies stumbled and fell.
Restore the joy of your salvation to me, and provide me with a spirit of willing obedience.
My salvation and my glory depend on God. God is the rock of my strength, my refuge.
Even angry mortals will praise you. You will wear the remainder of ⌞their⌟ anger.
I will satisfy you with a long life. I will show you how I will save you.
When the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, he will punish the king of Assyria for all his boasting and all his arrogance.
Look! God is my Savior. I am confident and unafraid, because the Lord is my strength and my song. He is my Savior.”
My eyes have seen your salvation,
Through your will and power, they did everything that you had already decided should be done.
