2. who plan evil in their hearts.They stir up wars all day long.
3. They make their tonguesas sharp as a snake’s bite;viper’s venom is under their lips. Selah
4. Protect me, Lord,from the clutches of the wicked. Keep me safe from violent menwho plan to make me stumble.
5. The proud hide a trap with ropes for me;they spread a net along the pathand set snares for me. Selah
6. I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”Listen, Lord, to my cry for help.
7. Lord God, my strong Savior,You shield my head on the day of battle.
