| 1 [[To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David.]] Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me: |
|
|
| 2 Who have devised mischiefs in their [heart], Every day, do they stir up wars: |
|
|
| 3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent,–The poison of the asp, is under their lips. [Selah.] |
|
|
| 4 Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me,–who have devised, to thrust at my steps: |
|
|
| 5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and, cords, have they spread as a net beside the track, Snares, have they set for me. [Selah.] |
|
|
| 6 I have said unto Yahweh, My GOD, thou art! Give ear, O Yahweh, unto the voice of my supplications. |
|
|
| 7 O Yahweh, My Lord, my saving strength, thou hast screened my head in the day of battle. |
|
|
| |
| |
| 8 Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the lawless one, his device, do not promote, They would exalt themselves. [Selah.] |
|
|
| 9 As for the head of them who surround me, Let the mischief of their lips cover them: |
|
|
| 10 May there be dropped on them live coals,–Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits [from which] they shall not rise. |
|
|
| 11 As for the slanderer, let him not be established in the earth,–As for the man of wrongful violence, let misfortune hunt him with thrust upon thrust. |
|
|
| 12 I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy. |
|
|
| 13 Surely, the righteous, shall give thanks to thy Name, the upright shall dwell in thy presence. |
