Let all who seek my life be humiliated! Let them be confused and ashamed, God. Scatter those who wish me evil; they just want me dead.
Humiliate those who seek my harm. Defeat them all! Frustrate their plans to defeat me and drive them back. Disgrace them all as they have devised their plans to disgrace me.
Cover these accusers of mine with shame and failure! Destroy them all, for they only want to kill me!
And the moment Jesus spoke the words, “I am he,” the mob fell backward to the ground!
All will say of me, ‘Yes! Only in Yahweh do I find righteousness and strength!’ And all who were angry with me will come before me and regret it!
For when you appear, I worship you while my enemies run in retreat. They stumble and perish before your presence.
“All who rage against you will be ashamed and disgraced. All who contend with you will perish and disappear.
I’m surrounded by many violent foes like bulls; forces of evil encircle me like the strong bulls of Bashan.
Give me back my life. Save me from this violent death. Save my precious one and only from the power of these dogs!
Please, Lord! Come quickly and rescue me! God, show me your favor and restore me.
