Psalms 17:8-9

8 Keep me as ^athe apple of your eye;
hide me in ^bthe shadow of your wings,
9 from the wicked who do me violence,
my deadly enemies who ^csurround me.

Psalms 36:11

11 Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me,
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Psalms 37:32-40

32 The wicked ^dwatches for the righteous
and seeks to put him to death.
33 The Lord will not ^eabandon him to his power
or let him ^fbe condemned when he is brought to trial.
34 ^gWait for the Lord and keep his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land;
you will look on ^hwhen the wicked are cut off.
35 ⁱI have seen a wicked, ruthless man,
spreading himself like ^ja green laurel tree. ^{▼▼The identity of this tree is uncertain}
36 But he passed away, ^{▼▼Or But one passed by} and behold, ^mhe was no more;
though I sought him, he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless and behold the upright,
for there is a future for the man of ⁿpeace.
38 But ^otransgressors shall be altogether destroyed;
the future of the wicked ^pshall be cut off.
39 ^qThe salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in ^rthe time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and ^sdelivers them;
^the delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they ^utake refuge in him.

Psalms 55:1-3

Cast Your Burden on the Lord

To the choirmaster: with ^vstringed instruments. A Maskil ^{▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term} of David.

1 ^xGive ear to my prayer, O God,
and hide not yourself from my plea for mercy!
2 Attend to me, and answer me;
I am restless ^yin my complaint and I ^zmoan,
3 because of the noise of the enemy,
because of the oppression of the wicked.
For they ^aadrop trouble upon me,
and in anger they bear a grudge against me.

Psalms 71:4

4 ^abRescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
