1. Lord, rescue me from evil people;protect me from cruel people
2. who make evil plans,who always start fights.
3. They make their tongues sharp as a snake’s;their words are like snake poison.Selah
4. Lord, guard me from the power of wicked people;protect me from cruel peoplewho plan to trip me up.
5. The proud hid a trap for me.They spread out a net beside the road;they set traps for me.Selah
6. I said to the Lord, “You are my God.”Lord, listen to my prayer for help.
7. Lord God, my mighty savior,you protect me in battle.
