Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;
those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison is under their lips. Selah.
Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.
I said to Yahweh, "You are my God." Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.
