As for the works of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

He rescues me from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven't set God before them. Selah.

Valiant men lie plundered, they have slept their last sleep. None of the men of war can lift their hands.

God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they do not hold regard for you before them.

who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.

Deliver me, LORD, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;

LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.

An evil speaker won't be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
