To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David.
Deliver
me, O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from
the violent man;
02 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart;
continually are they gathered together for war.
03 They have sharpened their tongues like a
serpent; adders' poison is under their lips.
Selah.
04 Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
preserve me from the violent man; who have
purposed to overthrow my goings.
05 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords;
they have spread a net by the wayside; they have
set gins for me. Selah.
06 I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: hear
the voice of my supplications, O Lord.

07 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
08 Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked:
further not his wicked device; lest they exalt
themselves. Selah.
09 As for the head of those that compass me
about, let the mischief of their own lips cover
them. 140:010 Let burning coals fall upon them:
let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits,
that they rise not up again.
11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the
earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to
overthrow him.
12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause
of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto
thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy
presence.
