2 from those who plan to do evil and always cause trouble.
3 Their words are as harmful as the fangs of a snake, as deadly as its venom. Selah
4 Lord, save me from the wicked! Protect me from these cruel people who plan to hurt me.
5 These proud people are trying to trap me. They spread nets to catch me; they set traps in my path. Selah
6 Lord, you are my God. Lord, listen to my prayer.
7 My Lord GOD, you are the powerful one who saves me. You protect my head in battle.
8 Lord, don’t let the wicked have what they want. Don’t let their plans succeed. Selah
