1<\/sup>Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man. Rescue me from the iniquitous leader.<\/span> <\/p>\n 2<\/sup>Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all day long they constructed conflicts.<\/span> <\/p>\n 3<\/sup>They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. The venom of asps is under their lips.<\/span> <\/p>\n 4<\/sup>Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps.<\/span> <\/p>\n 5<\/sup>The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.<\/span> <\/p>\n 6<\/sup>I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.<\/span> <\/p>\n 7<\/sup>Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.<\/span> <\/p>\n 8<\/sup>O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.<\/span> <\/p>\n 9<\/sup>The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.<\/span> <\/p>\n 10<\/sup>Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.<\/span> <\/p>\n 11<\/sup>A talkative man will not be guided aright upon the earth. Evils will drag the unjust man unto utter ruin.<\/span> <\/p>\n 12<\/sup>I know that the Lord will accomplish justice for the needy and vindication for the poor.<\/span> <\/p>\n 13<\/sup>So then, truly, the just will confess your name, and the upright will dwell with your countenance.<\/span> <\/p>\n
