1To the chief Musician5329, A Psalm4210 of David1732. Deliver2502 me, O LORD3068, from the evil7451 man120: preserve5341 me from the violent2555 man376;
2Which imagine2803 mischiefs7451 in their heart3820; continually3117 are they gathered together1481 for war4421.
3They have sharpened8150 their tongues3956 like a serpent5175; adders'5919 poison2534 is under their lips8193. Selah5542.
4Keep8104 me, O LORD3068, from the hands3027 of the wicked7563; preserve5341 me from the violent2555 man376; who have purposed2803 to overthrow1760 my goings6471.
5The proud1343 have hid2934 a snare6341 for me, and cords2256; they have spread6566 a net7568 by the wayside3027 4570; they have set7896 gins4170 for me. Selah5542.
6I said559 unto the LORD3068, Thou art my God410: hear238 the voice6963 of my supplications8469, O LORD3068.
7O GOD3069 the Lord136, the strength5797 of my salvation3444, thou hast covered5526 my head7218 in the day3117 of battle5402.
8Grant5414 not, O LORD3068, the desires3970 of the wicked7563: further6329 not his wicked device2162; lest they exalt7311 themselves. Selah5542.
9As for the head7218 of those that compass me about4524, let the mischief5999 of their own lips8193 cover3680 them.
10Let burning coals1513 fall4131 4131 upon them: let them be cast5307 into the fire784; into deep pits4113, that they rise not up again6965.
11Let not an evil speaker376 3956 be established3559 in the earth776: evil7451 shall hunt6679 the violent2555 man376 to overthrow4073 him.
12I know3045 that the LORD3068 will maintain6213 the cause1779 of the afflicted6041, and the right4941 of the poor34.
13Surely the righteous6662 shall give thanks3034 unto thy name8034: the upright3477 shall dwell3427 in thy presence6440.
