To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
Let not an evil speaker be established on the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
Arise, O LORD disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, who is thy sword:
He delivereth me from my enemies: yes, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
