Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; Preserve me from violent men,
Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men, Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me; You have delivered me from the violent man.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, Out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
Let not a slanderer be established in the earth; Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him.”
Arise, O Lord, Confront him, cast him down; Deliver my life from the wicked with Your sword,
Vindicate me, O God, And plead my cause against an ungodly nation; Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!
