1 Rescue me, LORD, from evildoers; protect me from the violent,

2 (139-3) Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.

3 They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s; the poison of vipers is on their lips.

4 (139-5) Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps:

4 Keep me safe, LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet.

5 (139-6) The proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.

5 The arrogant have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path.

6 (139-7) I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.

6 I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, LORD, my cry for mercy.
