God’s Word
For Everyday Life

Deliver me, LORD, from evil men.

those who devise mischief in their hearts.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent.

LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked.

The proud have hidden a snare for me,

I said to the LORD, “You are my God.”

LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation,

LORD, don’t grant the desires of the wicked.

As for the head of those who surround me,

Let burning coals fall on them.

An evil speaker won’t be established on the earth.

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,

Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name.
