Psalms 35:5 in Context — Psalms 35

3 E tira a lança, e fecha [o caminho] ao encontro de meus perseguidores; dize à minha alma: Eu sou tua salvação.

4 Envergonhem-se, e sejam humilhados os que buscam [matar] a minha alma; tornem-se para trás, e sejam envergonhados os que planejam o mal contra mim.

5 Sejam como a palha perante o vento; e que o anjo do SENHOR os remova.

6 Que o caminho deles seja escuro e escorregadio; e o anjo do SENHOR os persiga.

7 Porque sem motivo eles esconderam de mim a cova de sua rede; sem motivo eles cavaram para minha alma.
