2 who make evil plans,who always start fights.
3 They make their tongues sharp as a snake’s;their words are like snake poison.Selah
4 Lord, guard me from the power of wicked people;protect me from cruel peoplewho plan to trip me up.
5 The proud hid a trap for me.They spread out a net beside the road;they set traps for me.Selah
6 I said to the Lord, “You are my God.”Lord, listen to my prayer for help.
7 Lord God, my mighty savior,you protect me in battle.
8 Lord, do not give the wicked what they want.Don’t let their plans succeed,or they will become proud.Selah
