People are trying to kill me. Shame them and disgrace them. People want to hurt me. Let them run away in disgrace.
May the Lord do these things to those who accuse me, to those who speak evil against me.
People have surrounded me like angry bulls. Like the strong bulls of Bashan, they are on every side.
Save me from the sword; save my life from the dogs.
Let them be ashamed and embarrassed, because they were happy when I hurt. Cover them with shame and disgrace, because they thought they were better than I was.
Make those who want to kill me be ashamed and disgraced. Make those who plan to harm me turn back and run away.
God, come quickly and save me. Lord, hurry to help me.
Let those who accuse me be ashamed and destroyed. Let those who are trying to hurt me be covered with shame and disgrace.
My enemies turn back; they are overwhelmed and die because of you.
“All those people who are angry with you will be ashamed and disgraced. Those who are against you will disappear and be lost.
People will say about me, ‘Goodness and power come only from the Lord.’ ” Everyone who has been angry with him will come to him and be ashamed.
When Jesus said, “I am he,” they moved back and fell to the ground.
