1401Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:+2Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war.+3They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders’ poison is under their lips.[Selah+4Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.+5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me.[Selah+6I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.+7O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.+8Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, [lest] they exalt themselves.[Selah+9As for the head of those that compass me about, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.+10Let burning coals fall upon them: Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise.+11An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.+12I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.+13Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: The upright shall dwell in thy presence.+
