Prayer For Deliverance From Evil Men
1   Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2   Who imagine evil in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
3   They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
4   Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my paths.
5   The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set traps for me. Selah.
6   I said unto the LORD, you are my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
7   O  GOD  the  Lord,  the  strength  of  my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
8   Grant  not,  O  LORD,  the  desires  of  the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9   As for the head of those that compass me about,  let  the  mischief  of their own lips cover them.
10   Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
11   Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
12   I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
13   Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.
