Context Reading
1Deliver me, Yahweh, from evil men.Preserve me from violent men: 2those who devise mischief in their hearts.They continually gather themselves together for war. 3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent.Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah. 4Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked.Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet. 5The proud have hidden a snare for me,they have spread the cords of a net by the path.They have set traps for me. Selah.
