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

2 Who plan evil things in their hearts; They continually gather together for war.

2 who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day.

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.

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

5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set traps for me. Selah

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 I said to the Lord: "You are my God; Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.

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

7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.

7 Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.

8 Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked; Do not further his wicked scheme, Lest they be exalted. Selah

8 Do not grant the wicked their desires, LORD; do not let their plans succeed.

9 "As for the head of those who surround me, Let the evil of their lips cover them;

9 Those who surround me proudly rear their heads; may the mischief of their lips engulf them.

10 Let burning coals fall upon them; Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

10 May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise.

11 Let not a slanderer be established in the earth; Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him."

12 I know that the Lord will maintain The cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor.

12 I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.

13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name; The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
