Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve
me from the violent man: |
|

Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually
do they gather themselves together for war. |
| |

Adders' poison is under their lips. Selah |

Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
|

The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. Selah |

I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear
unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah. |

Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. |

Further not his evil device, lest they exalt themselves. Selah |

As for the head of those that compass me about,
Let the mischief of their own lips cover them. |

Let burning coals fall upon them: Let them be
cast into the fire, Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise. |

An evil speaker shall not be established in
the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. |

I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause
of the afflicted, And justice for the needy. |

thy name: The upright shall dwell in thy presence. |
