1 Rescue me from evil people, O Lord.Keep me safe from violent people.
2 They plan evil things in their hearts.They start fights every day.
3 They make their tongues as sharp as a snake’s ⌊fang⌋.Their lips hide the venom of poisonous snakes. Selah
4 Protect me from the hands of wicked people, O Lord.Keep me safe from violent people.They try to trip me.
5 Arrogant people have laid a trap for me.They have spread out a net with ropes.They have set traps for me along the road. Selah
6 I said to the Lord, “You are my God.”O Lord, open your ears to hear my plea for pity.
