PSALMS FI DI MONDEH DAY YAH

1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man:
preserve me from the violent man;

2 which imagine mischiefs in their heart;
continually are they gathered together for war.

3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent;
adders’ poison is under their lips. Rom. 3.13
Selah.

4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked;
preserve me from the violent man;
who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

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.
Selah.

6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God:
hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked:
further not his wicked device;
lest they exalt themselves.
Selah.

9 As for the head of those that compass me about,
let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10 Let burning coals fall upon them:
let them be cast into the fire;
into deep pits,
that they rise not up again.

11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth:
evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and the right of the poor.

13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:
the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
