1 Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. 2 those who devise mischief in their hearts. 3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. 4 Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. 5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, 6 I said to Yahweh, “You are my God.” 7 Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, 8 Yahweh, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. 9 As for the head of those who surround me, 10 Let burning coals fall on them. 11 An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. 12 I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, 13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name.
