4Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man; Who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
5The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the way side; They have set grins for me. Selah.
6I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
7O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: Further not his wicked device; Lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
