(大卫的诗,交与伶长。)
1 耶和华啊,求你拯救我脱离凶恶的人,保护我脱离强暴的人。
2 他们心中图谋奸恶,常常聚集要争战。
3 他们使舌头尖利如蛇,嘴里有虺蛇的毒气。(细拉)
4 耶和华啊,求你拯救我脱离恶人的手,保护我脱离强暴的人。他们图谋推我跌倒。
5 骄傲人为我暗设网罗和绳索。他们在路旁铺下网,设下圈套。(细拉)
6 我曾对耶和华说,你是我的神。耶和华啊,求你留心听我恳求的声音。
7 主耶和华,我救恩的力量啊,在争战的日子,你遮蔽了我的头。
8 耶和华啊,求你不要遂恶人的心愿。不要成就他们的计谋,恐怕他们自高。(细拉)
9 至于那些昂首围困我的人,愿他们嘴唇的奸恶陷害(原文作遮蔽)自己。
10 愿火炭落在他们身上。愿他们被丢在火中,抛在深坑里,不能再起来。
11 说恶言的人,在地上必坚立不住。祸患必猎取强暴的人,将他打倒。
12 我知道耶和华必为困苦人伸冤,必为穷乏人辨屈。
13 义人必要称赞你的名。正直人必住在你面前。
