3. They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders’ poison is under their lips.
4. Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
5. The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me.
6. I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.
7. O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
