Save me from the sword; save my life from the dogs.
Lord, how long will you watch this happen? Save my life from their attacks; save me from these people who are like lions.
“Sword, hit the shepherd. Attack the man who is my friend,” says the Lord All-Powerful. “Kill the shepherd, and the sheep will scatter, and I will punish the little ones.”
Lord, rise up, face the enemy, and throw them down. Save me from the wicked with your sword.
Lord my God, what have I done? Have my hands done something wrong?
People are trying to kill me. Shame them and disgrace them. People want to hurt me. Let them run away in disgrace.
Come near and save me; rescue me from my enemies.
Let those who are trying to kill me be ashamed and disgraced. Let those who want to hurt me run away in disgrace.
