1Save me, LORD , from evildoers;
keep me safe from violent people.
2They are always plotting evil,
always stirring up quarrels.
3Their tongues are like deadly snakes;[#Rom 3.13]
their words are like a cobra's poison.
4Protect me, LORD , from the power of the wicked;
keep me safe from violent people
who plot my downfall.
5The proud have set a trap for me;
they have laid their snares
and along the path they have set traps to catch me.
6I say to the LORD , “You are my God.”
Hear my cry for help, LORD !
7My Sovereign LORD , my strong defender,
you have protected me in battle.
8LORD , don't give the wicked what they want;
don't let their plots succeed.
9Don't let my enemies be victorious;[#140.9 Probable text ; Hebrew unclear.]
make their threats against me fall back on them.
10May red-hot coals fall on them;
may they be thrown into a pit and never get out.
11May those who accuse others falsely not succeed;
may evil overtake violent people and destroy them.
12LORD , I know that you defend the cause of the poor
and the rights of the needy.
13The righteous will praise you indeed;
they will live in your presence.
