They make their tongues
as sharp as a snake’s bite;
viper’s venom is under their lips.(A)Selah

Protect me, Lord,
from the clutches of the wicked.(B)
Keep me safe from violent men
who plan to make me stumble.[a](C)
The proud hide a trap with ropes for me;
they spread a net along the path
and set snares for me.(D)Selah
