Psalms 139:1-5

¹For the end, a Psalm of David.

²Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; Deliver me from the unjust man.

³Who have devised injustice in their hearts; All the day they prepared war.

⁴They have sharpened their tongue as the tongue of a serpent; The poison of asps is under their lips. Pause.

⁵Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; Rescue me from unjust men; Who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
