Prayer for Deliverance from Evil Men

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men,
2 Who plan evil things in their hearts;
aThey continually gather together for war. 
3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
The apoison of asps is under their lips. Selah 
4 aKeep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
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 
6 I said to the Lord: “You are my God;
Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have1 covered my head in the day of battle.
