It is he that delivereth my soul in peace from them that lay wait for me; for they are many against me.

They hold all together, and keep themselves close, and mark my steps, when they lay wait for my soul.

For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take their counsel together,

The ungodly lay wait for me to destroy me, but I consider thy testimonies.

They lie waiting in our way on every side, watching to cast us down to the ground,

Let the lying lips be put to silence, which cruelly, disdainfully, and despitefully speak against the righteous.

Take from me the way of lying, and grant me thy law.

Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue!
