Prayer for Protection from the Wicked.

5LISTEN TO my words, O Lord, give heed to my sighing {and} groaning.H5329H5155H4210H1732H238H561H3068H995H1901
2Hear the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to You do I pray.H7181H6963H7773H4428H430H6419
3In the morning You hear my voice, O Lord; in the morning I prepare [a prayer, a sacrifice] for You and watch {and} wait [for You to speak to my heart].H6963H8085H1242H3068H1242H6186H6822
4For You are not a God Who takes pleasure in wickedness; neither will the evil [man] so much as dwell [temporarily] with You.H410H2655H7562H7451H1481
5Boasters can have no standing in Your sight; You abhor all evildoers.H1984H3320H5869H8130H6466H205
6You will destroy those who speak lies; the Lord abhors [and rejects] the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.H6H1696H3577H3068H8581H1818H4820H376
7But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love {and} mercy; I will worship toward {and} at Your holy temple in reverent fear {and} awe of You.H935H1004H7230H2617H3374H7812H6944H1964
8Lead me, O Lord, in Your righteousness because of my enemies; make Your way level (straight and right) before my face.H5148H3068H6666H8324H1870H3474H6440
9For there is nothing trustworthy {or} steadfast {or} truthful in their talk; their heart is destruction [or a destructive chasm, a yawning gulf]; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter and make smooth with their tongue.H3559H6310H7130H1942H1627H6605H6913H2505H3956
10Hold them guilty, O God; let them fall by their own designs {and} counsels; cast them out because of the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.H816H430H5307H4156H5080H7230H6588H4784
11But let all those who take refuge {and} put their trust in You rejoice; let them ever sing {and} shout for joy, because You make a covering over them {and} defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You {and} be in high spirits.H2620H8055H5769H7442H5526H157H8034H5970
12For You, Lord, will bless the [uncompromisingly] righteous [him who is upright and in right standing with You]; as with a shield You will surround him with goodwill (pleasure and favor).H3068H1288H6662H7522H5849H6793
