For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. 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. |
8
|
Yahweh, don\'t grant the desires of the wicked. Don\'t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah. |
9
|
As for the head of those who surround me, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them. |
10
|
Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, Into miry pits, from where they never rise. |
11
|
An evil speaker won\'t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him. |
12
|
I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy. |
13
|
Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence. |
