3. Draw out also the khanit (spear), and block the way against them that persecute me; say unto my nefesh, I am Thy Yeshuah (salvation).
4. Let them be put to shame and disgraced that seek after my nefesh; let a rout in retreat be theirs and let them be brought to dismay that plot my ruin.
5. Let them be like motz (chaff) before the ruach; and let the Malach Hashem drive them away.
6. Let their derech be choshech and slippery; and let the Malach Hashem pursue them.
7. For without cause have they hid for me their reshet (net) in a shachat (pit), which without cause they dug for my nefesh.
