Prayer for Protection against the Wicked.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
1 aRescue me, O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve me from bviolent men
2 Who adevise evil things in their hearts;
They bcontinually stir up wars.
3 They asharpen their tongues as a serpent;
bPoison of a viper is under their lips.
1Selah.
4 aKeep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
bPreserve me from violent men
Who have 1purposed to 2ctrip up my feet.
5 The proud have ahidden a trap for me, and cords;
They have spread a bnet by the 1wayside;
They have set csnares for me.
Selah.
6 I asaid to the Lord, “You are my God;
bGive ear, O Lord, to the cvoice of my supplications.
7 “O 1God the Lord, athe strength of my salvation,
You have bcovered my head in the day of 2battle.
8 “Do not grant, O Lord, the adesires of the wicked;
Do not promote bhis evil device, that they not be exalted.
Selah.
9 “As for the head of those who surround me,
May the amischief of their lips cover them.
10 “May aburning coals fall upon them;
May they be bcast into the fire,
Into 1deep pits from which they ccannot rise.
11 “May a 1slanderer not be established in the earth;
aMay evil hunt the violent man 2speedily.”
12 I know that the Lord will amaintain the cause of the afflicted
And bjustice for the poor.
13 Surely the arighteous will give thanks to Your name;
The bupright will dwell in Your presence.
