See the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, and gives birth to harmful lies –

The words he speaks are sinful and deceitful; he does not care about doing what is wise and right.

Deliver me from evildoers! Rescue me from violent men!

Hide me from the plots of evil men, from the crowd of evildoers.

If I had harbored sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

They spew out threats and speak defiantly; all the evildoers boast.

Direct my steps by your word! Do not let any sin dominate me!

Protect me from the snare they have laid for me, and the traps the evildoers have set.

Arrogant people cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who behave wickedly.

Turn back from me, all you who behave wickedly, for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping!

All those who behave wickedly do not understand – those who devour my people as if they were eating bread, and do not call out to the Lord.

I can see the evildoers! They have fallen! They have been knocked down and are unable to get up!

All those who behave wickedly do not understand – those who devour my people as if they were eating bread, and do not call out to God.

because of what the enemy says, and because of how the wicked pressure me, for they hurl trouble down upon me and angrily attack me.

Because they are bent on violence, do not let them escape! In your anger bring down the nations, O God!

When the wicked sprout up like grass, and all the evildoers glisten, it is so that they may be annihilated.

Who will rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

Each morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land, and remove all evildoers from the city of the Lord.

Do not drag me away with evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them!

He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed; he is committed to a sinful lifestyle; he does not reject what is evil.
