Psalms 35:3

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

The verse speaks to the repentant sinner with personal assurance that the Lord Himself is his salvation. Salvation comes through Christ alone, who receives all who come to Him, and never through human merit or righteousness. The sinner is therefore to ask for forgiveness and rely on Christ for help, trusting the divine promise instead of waiting or working to make himself worthy first.
