1 To the chief Musician 5329, A Psalm 4210 of David 1732. Deliver 2502 me, O LORD 3068, from the evil 7451 man 120: preserve 5341 me from the violent 2555 man 376;
2 Which imagine 2803 mischiefs 7451 in their heart 3820; continually 3117 are they gathered together 1481 for war 4421.
3 They have sharpened 8150 their tongues 3956 like a serpent 5175; adders 5919' poison 2534 is under their lips 8193. Selah 5542.
4 Keep 8104 me, O LORD 3068, from the hands 3027 of the wicked 7563; preserve 5341 me from the violent 2555 man 376; who have purposed 2803 to overthrow 1760 my goings 6471.
5 The proud 1343 have hid 2934 a snare 6341 for me, and cords 2256; they have spread 6566 a net 7568 by the wayside 3027 4570; they have set 7896 gins 4170 for me. Selah 5542.
6 I said 559 unto the LORD 3068, Thou art my God 410: hear 238 the voice 6963 of my supplications 8469, O LORD 3068.
7 O GOD 3069 the Lord 136, the strength 5797 of my salvation 3444, thou hast covered 5526 my head 7218 in the day 3117 of battle 5402.
8 Grant 5414 not, O LORD 3068, the desires 3970 of the wicked 7563: further 6329 not his wicked device 2162; lest they exalt 7311 themselves. Selah 5542.
9 As for the head 7218 of those that compass me about 4524, let the mischief 5999 of their own lips 8193 cover 3680 them.
10 Let burning coals 1513 fall 4131 4131 upon them: let them be cast 5307 into the fire 784; into deep pits 4113, that they rise not up again 6965.
11 Let not an evil speaker 376 3956 be established 3559 in the earth 776: evil 7451 shall hunt 6679 the violent 2555 man 376 to overthrow 4073 him.
12 I know 3045 that the LORD 3068 will maintain 6213 the cause 1779 of the afflicted 6041, and the right 4941 of the poor 34.
13 Surely the righteous 6662 shall give thanks 3034 unto thy name 8034: the upright 3477 shall dwell 3427 in thy presence 6440.
