Yahweh, rescue/save me from  being attacked by evil men; and  even more, ◄keep me safe/protect me► from being attacked by violent people. 
They are always planning to do evil things and they are always inciting/urging people to start quarrels. 
By what they say MTY  they injure people like poisonous snakes do; the words that they speak MTY  can kill people as easily as cobras/vipers do. 
Yahweh, protect me from the power MTY of wicked  people. Keep me safe from violent men who plan to destroy me SYN. 
 It is as though proud people have set a trap for me;  it is as though they have spread their nets to catch me;  it is as though they have put those things along the road to catch/seize me. 
I say to you, “Yahweh, you are my God;”  so listen to me while I cry out to you to help me. 
Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one who defends me strongly; you have  protected me during battles MET  as though you had put a helmet on my head. 
Yahweh, do allow wicked  people to do the things that they desire, and do not allow them to do the  evil things that they plan to do. 
 Do not allow my enemies to ◄become proud/defeat me►; cause the evil things that they say MTY they will do to me to happen to them,  instead. 
Cause burning coals to fall on their  heads! Cause them to be thrown into deep pits, from which they cannot climb out! 
Do not allow those who slander others to succeed; cause evil things to happen to violent men and destroy them! 
Yahweh, I know that you defend those who are oppressed, and that you do what is just/fair for those who are needy/poor. 
Righteous  people will surely thank you MTY, and they will live ◄in your presence/with you►.
