I call [upon] Yahweh who is praiseworthy, and I [am] saved from those who hate me.

He rescued me from my strong enemy from those who hate me continually, since they were stronger than I.

I pursued those who hate me, and I destroyed them. I did not turn back until finishing them.

Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
