|
\b

\v 1 Yahweh, rescue me from being attacked by evil men;
|
|
\q2 even more, keep me safe from being attacked by violent people.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 They are always planning to do evil things,
|
|
\q2 and they are always encouraging people to start quarrels.
|
|
\q1
|
|

|
|
\v 4 Yahweh, protect me from the power of wicked people.
|
|
\q2 Keep me safe from violent men who plan to ruin me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 It is as though proud people have set a trap for me;
|
|
\q2 it is as though they have spread their nets to catch me;
|
|
\q2 it is as though they have put these things along the road to catch me.
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|

|
|
\q2 Listen to me while I cry out to you to help me."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one who defends me strongly;
|
|
\q2 you have protected me during battles as though you had put a helmet on my head.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Yahweh, do not give to wicked people the things that they desire,
|
|
\q2 and do not allow them to do the evil things that they plan to do.

|
|
\s5
|
|

|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Cause burning coals to fall on their heads!
|
|
\q2 Cause them to be thrown into deep pits from which they cannot climb out!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Do not allow those who slander others to succeed;
|
|
\q2 cause evil things to happen to violent men and destroy them!
