["Save
Me, Lord, From Evil Men"] Save me, Lord, from evil men, and preserve me from
men of violence, who plot mischief within their hearts, and are always stirring up
wars.
They sharpen their tongues like a serpent, snake's poison is under their lips.
Selah, selah.
Keep me, Lord, from hurtful hands, and preserve me from men of violence,
who have planned to trip up my feet with the traps and snares of the proud.
They spread out their net by the wayside, and set their snares for me.
Selah, selah.
I said, Lord, You are my God.
Hear the sound, O Lord, of my prayers.
O Lord God, my saving strength, You will cover my head in the battle.
Lord, block the desires of the wicked.
Advance not a scheme to exalt Him.
Selah, selah.
For the heads of those who surround me, they are covered only by lies,
burning coals that fall in the fire, into depths from which they'll not rise.
May liars not rule on the earth.
May evil chase down the violent.
Selah, selah.
For I know, yes, I know, the Lord will bring forth the cause of the oppressed,
and justice for the poor.
Surely those who are just will offer thanks to Your name.
And as for the upright, in Your presence they will dwell.
In Your presence they will dwell.
