Prayer for Deliverance from Evil Men
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.
4 aKeep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
5 The proud have hidden a asnare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me. Selah
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me. Selah
8 Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his wicked scheme,
aLest they be exalted. Selah
Do not further his wicked scheme,
aLest they be exalted. Selah
10 aLet burning coals fall upon them;
Let them be cast into the fire,
Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Let them be cast into the fire,
Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name;
The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
