Shame and dishonor those ruthless enemies
    who wish to end my life.
Turn back those who conspire against me,
    defeated and humiliated!

    blown by the wind,
    driven far, far away by the Eternal’s messenger.
Make their way unsure and dangerously dark,
    a gauntlet of gloom
    chased through the darkness by the Eternal’s messenger.

    be turned back(D) in dismay.

    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.
