| 1. | {To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} |
| 2. | Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man: |
| 3. | Who devise mischiefs in their heart; every day are they banded together for war. |
| 4. | They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders` poison is under their lips. Selah. |
| 5. | Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked man, preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps. |
| 6. | The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. Selah. |
| 7. | I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my łGod: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications. |
| 8. | Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. |
| 9. | Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. Selah. |
| 10. | As for the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. |
| 11. | Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again. |
| 12. | Let not the man of evil tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to his ruin. |
| 13. | I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy. |
| 14. | Yea, the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence. |
