Deliver Me, O Lord, from Evil Men
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
2
who plan evil things in their heart and 3stir up wars continually.
4
Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from 8violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet.
5
The arrogant have 9hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread 10a net;a beside the way they have set 11snares for me. Selah
7
O LORD, my Lord, 14the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
8
15Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not further theirb evil plot, or 16they will be exalted! Selah
9
As for the head of those who surround me, let 17the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
10
Let 18burning coals fall upon them! Let them be cast into fire, into miry pits, no more to rise!
11
Let not the slanderer be established in the land; let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!
