1. O lord, rescue me from evil people.Protect me from those who are violent,
2. those who plot evil in their heartsand stir up trouble all day long.
3. Their tongues sting like a snake;the venom of a viper drips from their lips.Interlude
4. O lord, keep me out of the hands of the wicked.Protect me from those who are violent,for they are plotting against me.
