| 1. | Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; |
| 2. | Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. |
| 3. | They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah. |
| 4. | Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. |
| 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. Selah. |
| 6. | I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. |
| 7. | O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. |
| 8. | Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. |
| 9. | As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. |
| 10. | Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. |
| 11. | Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. |
| 12. | I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. |
| 13. | Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. |
