²⁰ Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.

¹⁷ Lord, how long will you be looking on? take my soul from their destruction, my life from the lions.

⁷ Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones.

¹³ Up! Lord, come out against him, make him low, with your sword be my saviour from the evil-doer.
