1. Rescue me, O Yahweh, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men,
2. who plan evil things in their heart. They stir up wars continually.
3. They sharpen their tongue as sharp as a snake’s; the venom of a viper is under their lips. Selah
4. Protect me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from violent men, who have planned to make me stumble.
