1	To the chief Musician# , A Psalm of David. Deliver# me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve# me from the violent man; [violent...: Heb. man of violences]
			2	Which imagine# mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together# for war.
			3	They have sharpened# their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
			4	Keep# me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve# me from the violent man; who have purposed# to overthrow# my goings.
			5	The proud have hid# a snare for me, and cords; they have spread# a net by the wayside# ; they have set# gins for me. Selah.
			6	I said# unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear# the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
			7	O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered# my head in the day of battle.
			8	Grant# not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further# not his wicked device; lest they exalt# themselves. Selah. [lest...: or, let them not be exalted]
			9	As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover# them.
			10	Let burning coals fall# # # # upon them: let them be cast# into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again# .
			11	Let not an evil speaker# be established# in the earth: evil shall hunt# the violent man to overthrow him . [an...: or, an evil speaker (Heb. a man of tongue), a wicked man of violence, be established in the earth: let him be hunted to his overthrow]
			12	I know# that the LORD will maintain# the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
			13	Surely the righteous shall give thanks# unto thy name: the upright shall dwell# in thy presence.
