Deliver me from the sword! Save my life from the claws of the wild dogs!
Rise up, Lord! Confront him! Knock him down! Use your sword to rescue me from the wicked man!
O Lord, how long are you going to just stand there and watch this? Rescue me from their destructive attacks; guard my life from the young lions!
May those who are trying to snatch away my life be totally embarrassed and ashamed! May those who want to harm me be turned back and ashamed!
Come near me and redeem me! Because of my enemies, rescue me!
O Lord my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions,
May those who are trying to take my life be embarrassed and ashamed! May those who want to harm me be turned back and ashamed!
“Awake, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is my associate,” says the Lord who rules over all. Strike the shepherd that the flock may be scattered; I will turn my hand against the insignificant ones.
