1 Deliver me, Lord, from the evil man.Preserve me from the violent man;
2 those who devise mischief in their hearts.They continually gather themselves together for war.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent.Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.
4 Lord, keep me from the hands of the wicked.Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me,they have spread the cords of a net by the path.They have set traps for me. Selah.
6 I said to the Lord, “You are my God.”Listen to the cry of my petitions, Lord.
