Psalms 139:2-8

²Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.

³Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.

⁴They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips.

⁵Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps.

⁶The proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.

⁷I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.

⁸O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.
