Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of a wicked man. Preserve me from violent men, who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners drive me away.
Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of a wicked man, out of the hand of an unrighteous and cruel man.
My steps have held fast to thy paths. My feet have not slipped.
To respect the person of a wicked man is not good, [nor] to turn aside a righteous man in judgment.
Thou love all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
which hearkens not to the voice of charmers, charming ever so wisely.
