To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men; preserve me from violent men, who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually. They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's, and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet. The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah
Lord, I don't know what challenges, temptations, trials and tests that I am going to face today. I do know that the Evil One is cunning in his attempts to swerve me from the path of obedience to Your word. I also know, that in my own strength and left to my own devices, I am weak, I am a coward and I bring disgrace to Your Name. Therefore, guard me, Lord, set my feet upon the path of righteousness so that I will not trip and disgrace You.
