* To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.
aDeliver me, O Lord, bfrom the evil man:
bPreserve me from the * violent man;
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart;
Continually are they cgathered together for war.
3 dThey have sharpened their tongues like ea serpent;
fAdder’s epoison is gunder their lips. Selah.
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
bPreserve me from the violent man;
Who have purposed to hoverthrow my goings.
5 The proud have ihid ka snare for me, and lcords;
They have spread a mnet by the way side;
They have set ngrins for me. Selah.
6 I nnsaid unto the Lord, Thou art my God:
Hear othe voice of my supplications, O Lord.
7 O God the Lord, pthe strength of my salvation,
Thou hast qcovered my head in the day of rbattle.
8 Grant not, O Lord, sthe desires of the wicked:
Further not his wicked device;
* tLest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9 As for the head of those that compass me about,
uLet the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Let burning coals wfall upon them:
Let them be cast into the fire;
Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11 Let not * * an evil speaker be established in the earth:
Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12 I know that the Lord will xmaintain the cause of the afflicted,
13 Surely zthe righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:
The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
