Psalms 35:4-10

4Cause the people who want to kill me to become ashamed. Chase away the people who want to hurt me, so that they become confused.

5Make them become like chaff that the wind blows away. Send the angel of the Lord to chase them away.

6Make their way dark and dangerous, as the angel of the Lord chases after them.

7They hid a trap to catch me. There was no reason for them to do that. They even dug a deep hole for me to fall into.

8Surprise my enemies and destroy them! Let their own traps catch them! Let them fall to their own death!

9Then I will be happy because of what the Lord has done. I will be happy because he has made me safe.

10I will shout with all my strength, ‘Lord, who is like you? When strong people try to hurt weak people, you are the one who keeps the weak people safe. You also keep poor people safe when robbers try to take things from them.’
