ChaptersPsalms Chapter 1401 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Deliver me, YAOHU UL, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;2 those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison is under their lips. Selah.4 YAOHU UL, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.5 The 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.6 I said to YAOHU UL,"You are my ULhim." Listen to the cry of my petitions, YAOHU UL.7 YAOHU UL, YAOHU UL, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.8 YAOHU UL, don't grant the desires of the wicked. Don't let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.9 As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise.11 An evil speaker won't be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.12 I know that YAOHU UL will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
