Protect me from the hands of wicked people, O Lord. Keep me safe from violent people. They try to trip me.
my steps have remained firmly in your paths. My feet have not slipped.
Do not let the feet of arrogant people step on me or the hands of wicked people push me away.
You love every destructive accusation, you deceitful tongue!
so that it cannot hear the voice of a snake charmer or of anyone trained to cast spells.
My God, free me from the hands of a wicked person, from the grasp of one who is cruel and unjust.
It is not good to be partial toward a wicked person, thereby depriving an innocent person of justice.
