- 1Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man.
- 2They imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually they are gathered together for war.
- 3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
- 4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man, who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
- 5The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set traps for me.
- 6I said to the LORD, 'You are my God.' Hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
- 7O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
- 8Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not further his wicked device, lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
- 9As for the head of those that surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
- 10Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
- 11Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth; evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
- 12I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
- 13Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence.
