1. Lord, rescue me from evil people.Save me from cruel men.
2. They make evil plans.They always start fights.
3. They make their tongues sharp as a snake’s.Their words are like snake poison. Selah
4. Lord, guard me from the power of wicked people.Save me from cruel menwho plan to trip me up.
5. Proud men have hidden a trap for me.They have spread out a net beside the road.They have set traps for me. Selah
6. I said to the Lord, “You are my God.”Lord, listen to my prayer for help.
7. Lord God, my mighty savior,you protect me in battle.
