For the music director: a psalm of David.
They sharpen their tongue like a serpent’s —viper’s venom is under their lips. Selah
God—He gives me vengeance and subdues peoples under me.
My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of an evil, ruthless man.
Let burning coals fall upon them. May they be cast into the fire, into deep pits, never to rise again.
Arise, Adonai! Confront him! Make him bow down! Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword,
Vindicate me, O God, and champion my cause against an ungodly nation. From a deceitful and unjust man, deliver me!
