1Yahweh, rescue/save me from being attacked by evil men;
2They are always planning to do evil things
3By what they say [MTY] they injure people like poisonous snakes do;
4Yahweh, protect me from the power [MTY] of wicked people.
5It is as though proud people have set a trap for me;
6I say to you, “Yahweh, you are my God;”
7Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one who defends me strongly;
8Yahweh, do allow wicked people to do the things that they desire,
9Do not allow my enemies to ◄become proud/defeat me►;
10Cause burning coals to fall on their heads!
11Do not allow those who slander others to succeed;
12Yahweh, I know that you defend those who are oppressed,
13Righteous people will surely thank you [MTY],
