Read in context

Psalms 35:3–7 · Berean Standard Bible

3 Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”

4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.

5 May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.

6 May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.

7 For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
