| 1 | For the Leader. A Psalm of David. |
| 2 | Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man; |
| 3 | Who devise evil things in their heart; Every day do they stir up wars. |
| 4 | They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Vipers' venom is under their lips. Selah |
| 5 | Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man; Who have purposed to make my steps slip. |
| 6 | The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. Selah |
| 7 | I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; Give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications. |
| 8 | O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Who hast screened my head in the day of battle, |
| 9 | Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. Selah |
| 10 | As for the head of those that compass me about, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them. |
| 11 | Let burning coals fall upon them; Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, that they rise not up again. |
| 12 | A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; The violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust. |
| 13 | I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the poor, And the right of the needy. |
| 14 | Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; The upright shall dwell in Thy presence. |
