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

⁹ My enemies are planning trouble for me.
    Lord, make that trouble fall on them.
¹⁰ Pour burning coals on their heads.
    Throw them into the fire.
    Throw them into pits they can never escape.
¹¹ Don't let those cruel liars enjoy success here.
    Let disaster hunt them down.
¹² I know the Lord will provide justice for the poor
    and will defend the helpless.
¹³ Those who do what is right will praise your name;
    those who are honest will live in your presence.
