Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
My steps have held fast to thy paths, My feet have not slipped.
To respect the person of the wicked is not good, Nor to turn aside the righteous in judgment.
Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.
