[1]
Preserve me from violent men:
[2] those who devise mischief in their hearts.
They continually gather themselves together for war.
[3] They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent.
Viper’s poison is under their lips.
Selah. [4] Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked.
Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
[5] The proud have hidden a snare for me,
they have spread the cords of a net by the path.
They have set traps for me.
Selah. [6] I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.”
Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.
[7] Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
you have covered my head in the day of battle.
[8] Yahweh, don’t grant the desires of the wicked.
Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud.
Selah. [9] As for the head of those who surround me,
let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
[10] Let burning coals fall on them.
Let them be thrown into the fire,
into miry pits, from where they never rise.
[11] An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth.
Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
[12] I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and justice for the needy.
[13] Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name.
The upright will dwell in your presence.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.

Selah.H5542 [6] I saidH559(QalPerf) unto the Lord,H3068 Thou [art] my God:H410 hearH238(HiphImpv) the voiceH6963 of my supplications,H8469 O Lord.H3068 [7] O GodH3069 the Lord,H136 the strengthH5797 of my salvation,H3444 thou hast coveredH5526(QalPerf) my headH7218 in the dayH3117 of battle.H5402 [8] GrantH5414(QalImpf) not, O Lord,H3068 the desiresH3970 of the wicked:H7563 furtherH6329(HiphImpf) not his wicked device;H2162 [lest] they exaltH7311(QalImpf) themselves. Selah.H5542 [9] [As for] the headH7218 of those that compass me about,H4524 let the mischiefH5999 of their own lipsH8193 coverH3680(PielImpf) them. [10] Let burning coalsH1513 fallH4131(NiphImpf/Qere) upon them: let them be castH5307(HiphImpf) into the fire;H784 into deep pits,H4113 that they rise not up again.H6965(QalImpf) [11] Let not an evil speakerH376 be establishedH3559(NiphImpf) in the earth:H776 evilH7451 shall huntH6679(QalImpf) the violentH2555 manH376 to overthrowH4073 [him]. [12] I knowH3045(QalPerf) that the LordH3068 will maintainH6213(QalImpf) the causeH1779 of the afflicted,H6041 [and] the rightH4941 of the poor.H34 [13] Surely the righteousH6662 shall give thanksH3034(HiphImpf) unto thy name:H8034 the uprightH3477 shall dwellH3427(QalImpf) in thy presence.H6440Byzantine Greek New Testament
