1Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:

2Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war.

3They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders` poison is under their lips. Selah

4Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.

5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. Selah

6I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.

7O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
