[For the music director; a psalm of David.] O LORD, rescue me from wicked men! Protect me from violent men, |
2
|
who plan ways to harm me. All day long they stir up conflict. |
3
|
Their tongues wound like a serpent; a viper's venom is behind their lips. (Selah) |
4
|
O LORD, shelter me from the power of the wicked! Protect me from violent men, who plan to knock me over. |
5
|
Proud men hide a snare for me; evil men spread a net by the path; they set traps for me. (Selah) |
6
|
I say to the LORD, "You are my God." O LORD, pay attention to my plea for mercy! |
7
|
O sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle. |
8
|
O LORD, do not let the wicked have their way! Do not allow their plan to succeed when they attack! (Selah) |
9
|
As for the heads of those who surround me— may the harm done by their lips overwhelm them! |
10
|
May he rain down fiery coals upon them! May he throw them into the fire! From bottomless pits they will not escape. |
11
|
A slanderer will not endure on the earth; calamity will hunt down a violent man and strike him down. |
12
|
I know that the LORD defends the cause of the oppressed and vindicates the poor. |
13
|
Certainly the godly will give thanks to your name; the morally upright will live in your presence. |
