1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
2 Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man. Rescue me from the iniquitous leader.
3 Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all day long they constructed conflicts.
4 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. The venom of asps is under their lips.
5 Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps.
6 The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.
7 I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.
