They make (A)their tongue sharp as (B)a serpent's,
    and (C)under their lips is the (D)venom of asps. Selah

Guard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
    preserve me from (E)violent men,
    who have planned to trip up my feet.
The arrogant have (F)hidden a trap for me,
    and with cords they have spread (G)a net;[a]
    beside the way they have set (H)snares for me. Selah
