1. Lord, save me from people who are evil. Protect me from those who are cruel,
2. from those who plan to do evil and always cause trouble.
3. Their words are as harmful as the fangs of a snake, as deadly as its venom. Selah
4. Lord, save me from the wicked! Protect me from these cruel people who plan to hurt me.
5. These proud people are trying to trap me. They spread nets to catch me; they set traps in my path. Selah
6. Lord, you are my God. Lord, listen to my prayer.
7. My Lord GOD, you are the powerful one who saves me. You protect my head in battle.
8. Lord, don’t let the wicked have what they want. Don’t let their plans succeed. Selah
