Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my paths.
Hold up my steps in your paths, that my feet slip not.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming ever so wisely.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
It is not good to be partial to the wicked, or to overthrow the righteous in judgment.
