1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man. Rescue me from the iniquitous leader.
To the choirmaster a psalm of David. Rescue me O Yahweh from a man evil from a man of violence you will preserve me.
2 Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all day long they constructed conflicts.
[those] who They plan evil things in [the] heart every day they stir up trouble wars.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. The venom of asps is under their lips.
They sharpen tongue their like a snake [the] venom of a viper [is] under lips their (Selah)
4 Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps.
Keep me O Yahweh - from [the] hands of [the] wicked from a man of violence you will preserve me [those] who they have planned to trip up footsteps my.
5 The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.
They have hidden proud [people] - a trap for me and ropes they have spread a net to [the] side of a track snares they have set for me (Selah)
6 I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.

O Yahweh O Lord [the] strength of salvation my you cover head my in a day of weaponry.
8 O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.
May not you grant O Yahweh [the] desires of [the] wicked plot his may not you promote they will arise (Selah)
9 The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.
[the] head of Surroundings my [the] mischief of lips their (may it cover them. *Q(K)*)
10 Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.
(May they be dropped *Q(K)*) on them burning coals in the fire let someone make fall them in pits [which] not they will arise.
11 A talkative man will not be guided aright upon the earth. Evils will drag the unjust man unto utter ruin.
A person of tongue not let him be established in the land a person of violence trouble let it hunt him for blows.
12 I know that the Lord will accomplish justice for the needy and vindication for the poor.
