A Prayer for a Greater Protection from Evil
[1] Rescue me, Lord, from evildoers;
protect me from the violent,
[2] who devise evil plans in their hearts
and stir up war every day.
[3] They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s;
the poison of vipers is on their lips.
[4] Keep me safe, Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
protect me from the violent,
who devise ways to trip my feet.
[5] The arrogant have hidden a snare for me;
they have spread out the cords of their net
and have set traps for me along my path.
[6] I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”
Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy.
[7] Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer,
you shield my head in the day of battle.
[8] Do not grant the wicked their desires, Lord;
do not let their plans succeed.
[9] Those who surround me proudly rear their heads;
may the mischief of their lips engulf them.
[10] May burning coals fall on them;
may they be thrown into the fire,
into miry pits, never to rise.
[11] May slanderers not be established in the land;
may disaster hunt down the violent.
[12] I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor
and upholds the cause of the needy.
[13] Surely the righteous will praise your name,
and the upright will live in your presence.
