To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Deliuer me, O Lord, from the euill man: preserue me from the cruel man: Which imagine euill things in their heart, and make warre continually. They haue sharpened their tongues like a serpent: adders poyson is vnder their lips. Selah. Psa 5:9; Psa 58:4; Rom 3:13Keepe mee, O Lord, from the handes of the wicked: preserue mee from the cruell man, which purposeth to cause my steppes to slide. 2Sa 22:3The proude haue layde a snare for me, and spred a nette with cordes in my pathway, and set grennes for me. Selah. Psa 64:5; Psa 142:4; Jer 18:22Therefore I saide vnto the Lord, Thou art my God: heare, O Lord, the voyce of my prayers. O Lord God the strength of my saluation, thou hast couered mine head in the day of battel. Let not the wicked haue his desire, O Lord: performe not his wicked thought, least they be proude. Selah. Deu 32:27As for the chiefe of them, that compasse me about, let the mischiefe of their owne lippes come vpon them.
