Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Hold up my goings in your paths, that my footsteps slip not.
It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.
Which will not listen to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
