O God, take notice of our shield! Show concern for your chosen king!

But you have spurned and rejected him; you are angry with your chosen king.

For the sake of David, your servant, do not reject your chosen king!

Your enemies, O Lord, hurl insults; they insult your chosen king as they dog his footsteps.

You march out to deliver your people, to deliver your special servant. You strike the leader of the wicked nation, laying him open from the lower body to the neck. Selah.
