For the choir director. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; Preserve me from violent men Who devise evil things in [their] hearts; They continually stir up wars. They sharpen their tongues as a serpent; Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah. Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men Who have purposed to trip up my feet. The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set snares for me. Selah. I said to the LORD, "You are my God; Give ear, O LORD, to the voice of my supplications. "O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle. "Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; Do not promote his [evil] device, [that] they [not] be exalted. Selah. "As for the head of those who surround me, May the mischief of their lips cover them. "May burning coals fall upon them; May they be cast into the fire, Into deep pits from which they cannot rise. "May a slanderer not be established in the earth; May evil hunt the violent man speedily." I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted And justice for the poor. Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence.
