To the overseer, chanting to David: Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man: wilt thou guard me from the man of violences

Watch me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the unjust one; from the man of violences wilt thou guard me; who purposed to overthrow my steps.

His trouble shall turn back upon his head, and his violence shall come down upon his crown.

His mouth was filled with cursing and deceit and violence: under his tongue, trouble and vanity.

Jehovah will try the just one: and the unjust and him loving violence, his soul hated.

Delivering me from mine enemies: from those rising up thou wilt lift me up: thou wilt deliver me from the man of violence

See mine enemies, for they were many, and they hated me with the hatred of violence.

Thou wilt not give me to the soul of him pressing me, for witnesses of falsehood rose up against me, and violence will blow.

Swallow up, O Jehovah, divide their tongue: for I saw violence and strife in the city.

Also in heart ye will work evil; in the earth ye will roll the violence of your hands.

From oppression and from violence he will redeem their soul, and their blood shall be precious in his eyes.

For this, pride surrounded them as a neck-chain; the dress of violence will cover to them.

Look to thy covenant: for the dark places of the earth were filled with habitations of violence.

A man of tongue shall not be prepared in the earth: a man of violence, evil shall hunt him to melt down the coverings.
