Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
    preserve me from (A)violent men,
    who have planned to trip up my feet.
The arrogant have (B)hidden a trap for me,
    and with cords they have spread (C)a net;[a]
    beside the way they have set (D)snares for me. Selah

(E)I say to the Lord, You are my God;
    give ear to (F)the voice of my pleas for mercy, O Lord!
