1 Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מִזְמֹ֥ור לְדָוִֽד׃

2 Those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

2 חַלְּצֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה מֵאָדָ֣ם רָ֑ע מֵאִ֖ישׁ חֲמָסִ֣ים תִּנְצְרֵֽנִי׃

3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison is under their lips. Selah.

3 אֲשֶׁ֤ר חָשְׁב֣וּ רָעֹ֣ות בְּלֵ֑ב כָּל־יֹ֝֗ום יָג֥וּרוּ מִלְחָמֹֽות׃

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

4 שָֽׁנֲנ֣וּ לְשֹׁונָם֮ כְּֽמֹו־נָ֫חָ֥שׁ חֲמַ֥ת עַכְשׁ֑וּב תַּ֖חַת שְׂפָתֵ֣ימֹו סֶֽלָה׃

5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, They have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.

5 שָׁמְרֵ֤נִי יְהוָ֨ה׀ מִ֘ידֵ֤י רָשָׁ֗ע מֵאִ֣ישׁ חֲמָסִ֣ים תִּנְצְרֵ֑נִי אֲשֶׁ֥ר חָ֝שְׁב֗וּ לִדְחֹ֥ות פְּעָמָֽי׃

6 I said to Yahweh, "You are my God." Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.

6 טָֽמְנֽוּ־גֵאִ֨ים׀ פַּ֡ח לִ֗י וַחֲבָלִ֗ים פָּ֣רְשׂוּ רֶ֭שֶׁת לְיַד־מַעְגָּ֑ל מֹקְשִׁ֖ים שָֽׁתוּ־לִ֣י סֶֽלָה׃

7 Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.

7 אָמַ֣רְתִּי לַ֭יהוָה אֵ֣לִי אָ֑תָּה הַאֲזִ֥ינָה יְ֝הוָ֗ה קֹ֣ול תַּחֲנוּנָֽי׃

8 Yahweh, don't grant the desires of the wicked. Don't let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.

8 יְהֹוִ֣ה אֲ֭דֹנָי עֹ֣ז יְשׁוּעָתִ֑י סַכֹּ֥תָה לְ֝רֹאשִׁ֗י בְּיֹ֣ום נָֽשֶׁק׃

9 As for the head of those who surround me, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

9 אַל־תִּתֵּ֣ן יְ֭הוָה מַאֲוַיֵּ֣י רָשָׁ֑ע זְמָמֹ֥ו אַל־תָּ֝פֵ֗ק יָר֥וּמוּ סֶֽלָה׃

10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, Into miry pits, from where they never rise.

10 רֹ֥אשׁ מְסִבָּ֑י עֲמַ֖ל שְׂפָתֵ֣ימֹו יְכַסּוּמֹו יְכַסֵּֽמֹו3׃

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

11 יָמִיטוּ יִמֹּ֥וטוּ עֲלֵיהֶ֗ם גֶּֽחָ֫לִ֥ים בָּאֵ֥שׁ יַפִּלֵ֑ם בְּ֝מַהֲמֹרֹ֗ות בַּֽל־יָקֽוּמוּ׃

12 I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.

12 אִ֥ישׁ לָשֹׁון֮ בַּל־יִכֹּ֪ון בָּ֫אָ֥רֶץ אִישׁ־חָמָ֥ס רָ֑ע יְ֝צוּדֶ֗נּוּ לְמַדְחֵפֹֽת׃

13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.

13 יָדַעְתָּ יָדַ֗עְתִּי כִּֽי־יַעֲשֶׂ֣ה יְ֭הוָה דִּ֣ין עָנִ֑י מִ֝שְׁפַּ֗ט אֶבְיֹנִֽים׃
