## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
#### For the music director, a psalm of David.
[[#Verse 01.]] O Lord, rescue me from wicked men.
Protect me from violent men,
[[#Verse 02.]] who plan ways to harm me.
All day long they stir up conflict.
[[#Verse 03.]] Their tongues wound like a serpent;
a viper’s venom is behind their lips. (Selah)
[[#Verse 04.]] O Lord, shelter me from the power of the wicked.
Protect me from violent men,
who plan to knock me over.
[[#Verse 05.]] Proud men hide a snare for me;
evil men spread a net by the path.
They set traps for me. (Selah)
[[#Verse 06.]] I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”
O Lord, pay attention to my plea for mercy.
[[#Verse 07.]] O Sovereign Lord, my strong deliverer,
you shield my head in the day of battle.
[[#Verse 08.]] O Lord, do not let the wicked have their way.
Do not allow their plan to succeed when they attack. (Selah)
[[#Verse 09.]] As for the heads of those who surround me—
may the harm done by their lips overwhelm them.
[[#Verse 10.]] May he rain down fiery coals upon them.
May he throw them into the fire.
From bottomless pits they will not escape.
[[#Verse 11.]] A slanderer will not endure on the earth;
calamity will hunt down a violent man and strike him down.
[[#Verse 12.]] I know that the Lord defends the cause of the oppressed
and vindicates the poor.
[[#Verse 13.]] Certainly the godly will give thanks to your name;
the morally upright will live in your presence.
