1. To the Overseer. --A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me.
2. Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
3. They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder [is] under their lips. Selah.
4. Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
