1. Lord, save me from sinful men. Keep me safe from those who want to hurt me.
2. They make evil plans in their hearts. They are always starting fights.
3. Their tongues are as deadly as the tongue of a serpent. The words from their lips are like the poison of a snake. Selah
4. Lord, keep me out of the hands of sinful people. Keep me safe from men who want to hurt me. They plan to trip me up and make me fall.
5. Proud people have hidden their traps to catch me. They have spread out their nets. They have set traps for me along my path. Selah
6. Lord, I say to you, "You are my God." Lord, hear my cry for your favor.
7. Lord and King, you save me because you are strong. You are like a shield that keeps me safe in the day of battle.
8. Lord, don't give sinners what they want. Don't let their plans succeed. If you do, they will become proud. Selah
