1. Rescue me, Lord, from evil men.
|
|
|
|
Keep me safe from violent men
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. who plan evil in their hearts.
|
|
They stir up wars all day long.
|
|
|
|
3. They make their tongues
|
|
as sharp as a snake's bite;
|
|
viper's venom is under their lips.Selah
|
|
|
|
4. Protect me, Lord,
|
|
from the power of the wicked.
|
|
|
|
Keep me safe from violent men
|
|
who plan to make me stumble.
|
|
|
|
5. The proud hide a trap with ropes for me;
|
|
they spread a net along the path
|
|
and set snares for me.Selah
|
|
|
|
6. I say to the Lord, "You are my God."
|
|
Listen, Lord, to my cry for help.
|
|
|
|
7. Lord, my Lord, my strong Savior,
|
|
you shield my head on the day of battle.
|
|
|
|
8. Lord, do not grant the desires of the wicked;
|
|
do not let them achieve their goals.
|
|
Otherwise, they will become proud.Selah
|
|
|
|
9. When those who surround me rise up,
|
|
may the trouble their lips cause overwhelm them.
|
|
|
|
10. Let hot coals fall on them.
|
|
|
|
Let them be thrown into the fire,
|
|
into the abyss, never again to rise.
|
|
|
|
11. Do not let a slanderer stay in the land.
|
|
Let evil relentlessly hunt down a violent man.
|
|
|
|
12. I know that the Lord upholds
|
|
the just cause of the poor,
|
|
justice for the needy.
|
|
|
|
13. Surely the righteous will praise your name;
|
|
the upright will live in your presence.
