1 To His Eminence: A Psalm by David. Rescue me, O Yah Veh, from evil humanity; guard me from the man of violence
2 who machinates evils in the heart: all day they sojourn for war;
3 they pointen their tongues as a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. Selah.
4 Guard me, O Yah Veh, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the man of violence; who machinates to overthrow my steps.
5 The pompous hide a line for me - and cords; they spread a net by the hand of the route; they set snares for me. Selah.
6 I say to Yah Veh, You are my El; hearken, O Yah Veh, to the voice of my supplications:
7 O Yah Veh Adonay, the strength of my salvation, you covered my head in the day of armament:
8 give not, O Yah Veh, the wicked their desires; promote not his intrigue; lest they be lofted. Selah.
9 As for the heads of them who surround me, cover them with the toil of their own lips;
10 topple coals on them; fell them in the fire - in deep pits that they rise not.
11 Establish no man of tongue in the earth; evil hunts the man of violence - to overthrow him.
12 I know Yah Veh works the plea of the humble - the judgment of the needy.
13 Surely the just spread hands to your name; the straight settle at your face.
