Bring forth the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me; say unto my soul, "I am thy salvation."

O spare me a little that I may recover my strength, before I go hence, and be no more seen."

He hath made wars to cease in all the world: he hath broken the bow, he hath knapped the spear in sunder, and burnt the chariots in the fire.

For the sparrow hath found her a house, and the swallow a nest, where she may lay her young; even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.

I watch, and am even as it were a sparrow that sitteth alone upon the housetop.
