1 Rescue me, Lord, from evil men.Keep me safe from violent men
2 who plan evil in their hearts.They stir up wars all day long.
3 They make their tonguesas sharp as a snake’s bite;viper’s venom is under their lips. Selah
4 Protect me, Lord,from the clutches of the wicked. Keep me safe from violent menwho plan to make me stumble.
5 The proud hide a trap with ropes for me;they spread a net along the pathand set snares for me. Selah
