¹ Lord, rescue me from evil people;
    protect me from cruel people
² who make evil plans,
    who always start fights.
³ They make their tongues sharp as a snake's;
    their words are like snake poison. Selah

⁴ Lord, guard me from the power of wicked people;
    protect me from cruel people
    who plan to trip me up.
⁵ The proud hid a trap for me.
    They spread out a net beside the road;
    they set traps for me. Selah

⁶ I said to the Lord, "You are my God."
    Lord, listen to my prayer for help.
⁷ Lord God, my mighty savior,
    you protect me in battle.
⁸ Lord, do not give the wicked what they want.
    Don't let their plans succeed,
    or they will become proud. Selah

⁹ Those around me have planned trouble.
    Now let it come to them.
¹⁰ Let burning coals fall on them.
    Throw them into the fire
    or into pits from which they cannot escape.
¹¹ Don't let liars settle in the land.
    Let evil quickly hunt down cruel people.

¹² I know the Lord will get justice for the poor
    and will defend the needy in court.
¹³ Good people will praise his name;
    honest people will live in his presence.
