1 Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;Preserve me from violent men,
2 Who plan evil things in their hearts;They continually gather together for war.
3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;The poison of asps is under their lips.Selah
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;Preserve me from violent men,Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords;They have spread a net by the wayside;They have set traps for me.Selah
