Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent who have planned my downfall.
My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.
Do not let the foot of the arrogant tread on me or the hand of the wicked drive me away.
You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.
so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.
Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
It is not right to be partial to the guilty or to subvert the innocent in judgment.
