1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; |
2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. |
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah. |
4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. |
5 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. |
6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. |
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. |
