PSAL CXL. A Psalm of David.
Lord, free me from the evil man, from violent men save me. verse 2 Whose hearts think mischief every day, for war they gathered be. verse 3 They in such wise make sharp their tongue l•ke as the Serpents do: And underneath their lips doth lie the Adders poison too. Selah.

verse 4 Keep me Lord, from the wickeds hand▪ from violent men me save: ⟨p. 347⟩My goings which to overthrow in thought projected have. verse 5 The proud have hid a snare for me, with cords; also a net They spread abroad besides the way: for me they grins have set.
verse 6 Unto Jehovah I did say, thou art a God to me: Lord, hear the voice of my requests which are for grace to thee. verse 7 O God the Lord, who art the strength of my salvation; My head by thee hath covered been the day of battle on.
