4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;preserve me from the violent man;who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords;they have spread a net by the wayside;they have set gins for me. Selah.
6 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God:hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
7 O [God] the Lord, the strength of my salvation,thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked:further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9 As for the head of those that compass me about,let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them:let them be cast into the fire;into deep pits,that they rise not up again.
