Some people are trying to kill me.
    Disappoint them and make them ashamed.
    Make them turn and run away.
They are planning to hurt me.
    Defeat and embarrass them.
Make them like chaff blown by the wind.[a]
    Let them be chased by the Lord’s angel.
Make their road dark and slippery.
    Let the Lord’s angel chase them.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 35:5 wind This may be a wordplay, because the Hebrew word also means “spirit.”

May those who seek my life(A)
    be disgraced(B) and put to shame;(C)
may those who plot my ruin
    be turned back(D) in dismay.
May they be like chaff(E) before the wind,
    with the angel of the Lord(F) driving them away;
may their path be dark and slippery,
    with the angel of the Lord pursuing them.
