1 Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;
2 Those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper`s poison is under their lips. Selah.
4 Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men: Who have determined to trip my feet.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, They have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.
6 I said to Yahweh, "You are my God." Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.
7 Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.
