TO THE CHOIRMASTER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, |
2
|
who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually. |
3
|
They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's, and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah |
4
|
Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet. |
5
|
The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah |
6
|
I say to the LORD, You are my God; give ear to the voice of my pleas for mercy, O LORD! |
7
|
O LORD, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle. |
8
|
Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not further their evil plot or they will be exalted! Selah |
9
|
As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them! |
10
|
Let burning coals fall upon them! Let them be cast into fire, into miry pits, no more to rise! |
11
|
Let not the slanderer be established in the land; let evil hunt down the violent man speedily! |
12
|
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy. |
13
|
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence. |
