1. Unto the end, a psalm for David.
2. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
3. Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
4. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips.
5. Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps,
6. the proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.
