Fight against those who fight against me.

Draw also the spear and javelin to meet those who pursue me.
Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”

They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.

With all my strength I will say, "O Lord, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them."

Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me;
Nor let those who hate me without cause wink their eye [maliciously].

For they do not speak peace,
But they devise deceitful words [half-truths and lies] against those who are quiet in the land.

Instead, let those who gloat over the evil directed against me be ashamed and confounded together; Let those who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and dishonor.

Let them shout for joy and rejoice, who favor my vindication and want what is right for me;
Let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, who delights and takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

O continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You,
And Your righteousness (salvation) to the upright in heart.

There, those who do evil have fallen; They have been thrown down, and they cannot get up. Davidic

Nor be envious toward wrongdoers;

For those who do evil will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

To cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To slaughter those who are upright in conduct [those with personal integrity and godly character].

Those I love and my friends stand aloof from my plague, and my kinsmen stand afar off.
