3. Their tongues wound like a serpent;a viper’s venom is behind their lips. (Selah)
4. O Lord, shelter me from the power of the wicked!Protect me from violent men,who plan to knock me over.
5. Proud men hide a snare for me;evil men spread a net by the path;they set traps for me. (Selah)
6. I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”O Lord, pay attention to my plea for mercy!
7. O sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer,you shield my head in the day of battle.
