1. For the leader. A psalm of David.
2. Deliver me, Lord, from the wicked;preserve me from the violent,
3. From those who plan evil in their hearts,who stir up conflicts every day,
4. Who sharpen their tongue like a serpent,venom of asps upon their lips.Selah
5. Keep me, Lord, from the clutches of the wicked;preserve me from the violent,who plot to trip me up.
