1[To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.] Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

2Which imagine mischiefs in heart; continually are they gathered together war.

3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison under their lips. Selah.

4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
