Unto the end. A Psalm of David.
Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man. Rescue me from the iniquitous leader.
Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all day long they constructed conflicts.
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. The venom of asps is under their lips.
Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps.
The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.
I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.
