1. Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:
2. Who devise mischiefs in their heart; every day are they banded together for war.
3. They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
4. Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked man, preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.
