Psalms 35:3

draw sword and spear,
to meet (block the way) those who pursue (chase) me.
Let me hear you say (say to my soul):
"I am your salvation (rescue)."
[God is likened to a warrior. Verses 1–3 consist of four lines that become shorter and shorter, a way of showing how urgent the situation is. In the next four lines, verses 4–6, the length increases and the focus shifts from the need for help to the fate of the opponents.]
