King James Version
KJV
[1] Delyuer me O God from the euyll man: and preserue me from the outragious man [1]Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
[2]Who in heart imagine mischiefes: and set forwarde to warre euery day [2]Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
[3]They haue sharpened their tongue lyke a serpent: Adders poyson is vnder their lippes. Selah [3]They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
[4]Kepe me O God from the handes of the vngodly: preserue me from the outragious man, who haue deuised to thrust my feete [from me. [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 proude haue layde a snare for me, and spread a net abroade with coardes in the high wayes: they haue set trappes for me. Selah [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 haue sayde vnto God, thou art my Lorde: heare the voyce of my prayers O God [6]I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
[7]O Lorde God the strength of my saluation: thou hast couered my head in the day of battayle [7]O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
[8]Graunt not vnto the vngodly [his] desires O God: bryng not to passe his mischeuous imagination [lest] they shoulde be made to proude. Selah [8]Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
[9]Let the labour of his owne lippe couer him: [who is] head of them that compasse me about [9]As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
[10]Let hotte coales be burnyng vpon them: he wyll cast them downe into the fire into deepe pittes, that they may neuer rise vp agayne [10]Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
[11]A man full of tongue can not prosper vpon the earth: euyll shall hunt the outragious person to ouerthrowe him [11]Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
[12]I am sure that God wyll dispatche the cause of the afflicted: and he wyll geue iudgement for the needy [12]I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
[13]Truely the ryghteous wyll confesse it vnto thy name: they that deale vprightlye shall dwell before thy face [13]Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
