 aKeeph8104 me, O LORDh3068, from the handsh3027 of the wickedh7563;  bPreserveh5341 me from violenth2555 menh376 Whoh834 have  1purposedh2803 to  2 ctriph1760 up my feeth6471.

The proudh1343 have  ahiddenh2934 a traph6341a for me, and cordsh2256a; They have spreadh6566 a  bneth7568 by the  1waysideh4570; They have seth7896  csnaresh4170 for me. Selahh5542.

I  asaidh559 to the LORDh3068, "You are my Godh410;  bGiveh238 earh238, O LORDh3068, to the  cvoiceh6963 of my supplicationsh8469.

"As for the headh7218 of those who surroundh5437 me, May the  amischiefh5999 of their lipsh8193 coverh3680 them.
