¹ Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:² Who have devised mischiefs in their heart , Every day, do they stir up wars:³ They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent, - The poison of the asp, is under their lips. Selah.⁴ Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, - who have devised, to thrust at my steps:⁵ The proud have hidden a snare for me, and, cords, have they spread as a net beside the track, Snares, have they set for me. Selah.⁶ I have said unto Yahweh, My GOD, thou art! Give ear, O Yahweh, unto the voice of my supplications.⁷ O Yahweh, My Lord, my saving strength, thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.

⁸ Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the lawless one, his device, do not promote, They would exalt themselves. Selah.⁹ As for the head of them who surround me, Let the mischief of their lips cover them:¹⁰ May there be dropped on them live coals, - Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits from which they shall not rise.¹¹ As for the slanderer, let him not be established in the earth, - As for the man of wrongful violence, let misfortune hunt him with thrust upon thrust.¹² I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy.¹³ Surely, the righteous, shall give thanks to thy Name, the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
