1. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:
2. Who devise 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.
4. Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
5. The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me.
6. I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.
