Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 35 of Psalms. Psalm 35 is an extensive plea against adversaries who respond with hostility to one who previously sought their well-being. Judicial and military language combines with a request that God intervene as defender. The psalmist protests the injustice of receiving evil for good and asks the Lord to make his justice public. The conclusion promises communal praise when deliverance confirms God’s righteousness.

Sie müssen werden wie Spreu vor dem Winde, und der Engel des HERRN stoße sie weg.
Sean como el tamo delante del viento; Y el ángel de Jehová los acose.
Que sean como tamo ante el viento, mientras el ángel de Jehová los empuja.
Qu'ils soient comme la balle emportée par le vent, Et que l'ange de l'Eternel les chasse!
Sien come pula al vento, E caccili l’Angelo del Signore.
Sejam como a moinha perante o vento; o anjo do SENHOR os faça fugir.
願他們像風前的糠秕, 有耶和華的使者趕逐他們。
