1. 耶和华阿，求你搭救我脱离恶人，保守我脱离强暴的人； Deliver me, O Jehovah, from evil men; From violent men preserve me;
2. 他们心中图谋恶事，不断挑启争端。 Who devise evil schemes in their hearts And continually stir up wars.
3. 他们使舌头尖利如蛇；嘴里有虺蛇的毒气。 细拉 They have sharpened their tongues like that of a serpent; The poison of adders is under their lips.
4. 耶和华阿，求你保护我脱离恶人的手，保守我脱离强暴的人；他们图谋推我跌倒。 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; From violent men preserve me; Who devise schemes to thrust me down.
5. 骄傲人为我暗设网罗和绳索；他们在路旁铺下网，为我设下圈套。 细拉 The proud have hidden a trap for me and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set snares for me.
6. 我曾对耶和华说，你是我的神；耶和华阿，求你侧耳听我恳求的声音。 I said to Jehovah, You are my God; Give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.
7. 主耶和华，我救恩的力量阿，在争战的日子，你遮护了我的头。 O Jehovah Lord, strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.
8. 耶和华阿，求你不要遂恶人的心愿；不要成就他们的计谋，免得他们自高。 细拉 O Jehovah, do not grant the desires of the wicked man; Do not let his evil scheme advance, Lest he be exalted.
9. 至于那些昂首围困我的人，愿他们嘴唇的毒害把自己淹没了。 As for the head of those who surround me, May the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10. 愿火炭落在他们身上；愿他们被丢在火中，抛在深坑里，不能再起来。 May burning coals drop down upon them; May they be thrown down into the fire, Into deep pits, never to rise again.
11. 愿说谗言的人，在地上坚立不住；愿祸患猎取强暴的人，将他打倒。 Let no slanderer be established in the land; Let evil hunt down the violent man speedily.
12. 我知道耶和华必为困苦人伸冤，必为穷乏人辨屈。 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted And justice for the needy.
13. 义人必要称谢你的名；正直人必住在你面前。 Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence.
