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.
