2 Deliver me, Lord, from the wicked;preserve me from the violent,
3 From those who plan evil in their hearts,who stir up conflicts every day,
4 Who sharpen their tongue like a serpent,venom of asps upon their lips.Selah
5 Keep me, Lord, from the clutches of the wicked;preserve me from the violent,who plot to trip me up.
6 The arrogant have set a trap for me;they have spread out ropes for a net,laid snares for me by the wayside.Selah
7 I say to the Lord: You are my God;listen, Lord, to the words of my pleas.
8 Lord, my master, my strong deliverer,you cover my head on the day of armed conflict.
