Deliver us, O Lord, from evil men; preserve us from violent men, who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually. They make their tongue sharp as a serpent’s, and under their lips is the venom of asps.
Guard us, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve us from violent men, who have planned to trip up our feet. The arrogant have hidden a trap for us, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for us.
Oh Lord, let not the wicked succeed against us. Amen!
From Pastor Edward
