{\b For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.}\par\par\tab Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man;\par\tab Preserve me from the violent man:
Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked;\par\tab Preserve me from the violent man:\par\tab Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
He rescueth me from mine enemies;\par\tab Yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me;\par\tab Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,\par\tab Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth:\par\tab Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Arise, O Jehovah,\par\tab Confront him, cast him down:\par\tab Deliver my soul from the wicked by thy sword;
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation:\par\tab Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
