1 Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually do they gather themselves together for war.
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
