Psalms 35:5

May they be ¹  like wind-driven chaff, as the Lord’s angel ²  attacks them! ³ 

May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them away;

Let them be like chaff before the wind, With the angel of the LORD driving them on.

Blow them away like chaff in the wind––a wind sent by the angel of the LORD.

Make them like cinders in a high wind, with GOD's angel working the bellows.

Let them be like dust from the grain before the wind; let the angel of the Lord send them in flight.

Let them be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them on.

Let them be like chaff before the wind, And let the angel of the LORD chase them .

May they be ¹  like wind-driven chaff, as the Lord’s angel ²  attacks them! ³
