Deliver Me, O Lord, from Evil Men

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

1yDeliver me, O Lord, from evil men;

preserve me from zviolent men,

2who plan evil things in their heart

and astir up wars continually.

3They make btheir tongue sharp as ca serpent's,

and dunder their lips is the evenom of asps. Selah

4Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;

preserve me from zviolent men,

who have planned to trip up my feet.

5The arrogant have fhidden a trap for me,

and with cords they have spread ga net;1

beside the way they have set hsnares for me. Selah

6iI say to the Lord, You are my God;

give ear to jthe voice of my pleas for mercy, O Lord!

7O Lord, my Lord, kthe strength of my salvation,

you have covered my head in the day of battle.

8lGrant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;

do not further their2 evil plot, or mthey will be exalted! Selah

9As for the head of those who surround me,

let nthe mischief of their lips overwhelm them!

10Let oburning coals fall upon them!

Let them be cast into fire,

into miry pits, no more to rise!

11Let not the slanderer be established in the land;

let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!

12I know that the Lord will pmaintain the cause of the afflicted,

and qwill execute justice for the needy.

13Surely rthe righteous shall give thanks to your name;

sthe upright shall dwell in your presence.

Give Ear to My Voice

A Psalm of David.

1O Lord, I call upon you; thasten to me!

Give ear to my voice when I call to you!

2Let umy prayer be counted as incense before you,

and vthe lifting up of my hands as wthe evening sacrifice!

3xSet a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;

ykeep watch over the door of my lips!

4zDo not let my heart incline to any evil,

to busy myself with wicked deeds

in company with men who awork iniquity,

and blet me not eat of their delicacies!

5cLet a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;

let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;

let my head not refuse it.

Yet dmy prayer is continually against their evil deeds.

6When their judges are ethrown over the cliff,1

then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.

7As when one plows and breaks up the earth,

so shall our bones fbe scattered at the mouth of Sheol.2

8But gmy eyes are toward you, O God, my Lord;

hin you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless!3

9Keep me from ithe trap that they have laid for me

and from the snares of evildoers!

10Let the wicked jfall into their own nets,

while I pass by safely.
