- Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men; protect me from men of violence,
- 2
- who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day.
- 3

- 4
- Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from men of violence who plan to trip my feet.
- 5
- Proud men have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path. Selah
- 6
- O LORD, I say to you, "You are my God." Hear, O LORD, my cry for mercy.
- 7
- O Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, who shields my head in the day of battle--
- 8
- do not grant the wicked their desires, O LORD; do not let their plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah
- 9
- Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with the trouble their lips have caused.
- 10
- Let burning coals fall upon them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise.

- 12
- I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.
- 13
- Surely the righteous will praise your name and the upright will live before you
