1 Vnto the end, a Psalme of Dauid.
2 DELIVER me ô Lord from the euil man: from the vniust man rescue me.
3 Which haue deuised iniquitie in their hart: al the day they did appoint battels. They haue whet their tongues as that of a serpent:
4 the venome of aspes is vnder their lippes.
5 Kepe me ô Lord from the hand of the sinner: and from vniust men deliuer me. Who haue deuised to supplant my steppes:
6 the proude haue hid a snare for me: And they haue stretched out ropes for a snare: they haue layd a stumbling blocke for me nere the way.
7 I sayd to our Lord: Thou art my God: heare ô Lord the voice of my petition.
8 O Lord, Lord the strength of my saluation: thou hast ouershadowed my head in the day of battel.
9 Yeld me not ô Lord from my desire, to the sinner: they haue deuised against me, forsake me not, lest they perhaps be proude.
10 The head of their compase: the labour of their lippes shal couer them.
11 Coales shal fal vpon them, thou shalt cast them downe into fyre: in miseries they shal not stand vp.
12 A man ful of tongue shal not be directed in the earth: euils shal take the vniust man into destruction.
12 I haue knowne that our Lord wil do the iudgement of the needie: and the reuenge of the poore.
14 But as for the iust, they shal confesse to thy name: and the righteous shal dwel with thy countenance.
