1. Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;Preserve me from violent men,
2. Who plan evil things in their hearts;They continually gather together for war.
3. They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;The poison of asps is under their lips.Selah
4. Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;Preserve me from violent men,Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
