TO THE CHOIRMASTER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men; preserve me from violent men,
|

who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually.
|

They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's, and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah

Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet.

I say to the LORD, You are my God; give ear to the voice of my pleas for mercy, O LORD!
|

O LORD, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.

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!
|

O LORD, I say to you, “You are my God.” Hear, O LORD, my cry for mercy.
|
| 7 |

do not grant the wicked their desires, O LORD; do not let their plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah

O LORD, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from those who are violent,
|
| 2 |
those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long.

O LORD, keep me out of the hands of the wicked. Protect me from those who are violent, for they are plotting against me.

LORD, do not let evil people have their way. Do not let their evil schemes succeed, or they will become proud. Interlude
|
| 9 |
Let my enemies be destroyed by the very evil they have planned for me.
|
| 10 |
Let burning coals fall down on their heads. Let them be thrown into the fire or into watery pits from which they can't escape.
|
| 11 |
Don't let liars prosper here in our land. Cause great disasters to fall on the violent.
|
| 12 |
But I know the LORD will help those they persecute; he will give justice to the poor.

Surely righteous people are praising your name; the godly will live in your presence. A psalm of David.
