Keep me from the violent man
Deliver me, Lord, from the evil man. Keep me from the violent man — Those who think up trouble in their heart. They gather together for war all the time. They've sharpened their tongue like a snake. Adder's poison is under their lips. Selah. Keep me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me from the violent man, those planning to knock my steps out from under me. The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords. They've spread a net beside the track. They've set snares for me. Selah. I said to the LORD: You're my God. Hear the sound of my pleas, Lord. Lord God, you're the strength of my salvation. You've covered my head in the day of battle. Don't give the wicked man what he wants, Lord. Don't let his plan work, or they'll lift themselves up. Selah. As for the head of those surrounding me, let the trouble of their own lips defend them. Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into deep pits, so they don't rise again. Don't let a man with an evil tongue stand in the earth. Let evil hunt the violent man down and knock him over. I know the LORD will take up the case of the afflicted and the right of the poor. The righteous will thank your name surely. The upright will live before your face.
Get me out, Lord, from the evil man. Keep me from the violent man — the ones who think up trouble in their heart. They gather together for war all the time. They've sharpened their tongue like a snake. Adder's poison is under their lips. Keep me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me from the violent man, the ones planning to knock my steps out from under me. The proud have hidden a trap for me, and ropes. They've spread a net beside the track. They've set snares for me. I said to the Lord: You're my God. Hear the sound of my pleading, Lord. Lord God, you're the strength of my salvation. You've covered my head in the day of battle.

Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah. Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah. I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
