The chord progression for this song is E minor, D major, C major, B minor. So far the song is just 4/4, but I might change that later.

The next objective is to add a beat and also the singing.

The lyrics will mostly come from Psalms 140. An example of the verses are as follows: 
Deliver me from the evil men, preserve me from the violent men, tongues like serpents... etc.

I decided to have a slowing beginning with a quick transition into a faster, more energetic part. The chord progression is basically the same in the beginning, E minor, D major, C major, B minor. When it gets to the faster part, it changes to E minor, G major, D major, C major.

My next objective is to add a beat/drums.

Lyrics:
Deliver me from the evil man,
Preserve me from the violent man.
Mischief in their hearts,
Their tongues like serpents, their souls are dark.

Grant not desires of the wicked man,
Maintain not the cause of the sinful man,
They are all thieves and liars,
Lord, let all the wicked be cast into fire.

Based the melody on the chorus, so it is a bit lacking it terms of sophistication

The chord progression is basically the same in the beginning, E minor, D major, C major, B minor. Then it changes beat in the middle and gets faster. When it gets to the faster part, it changes to E minor, G major, D major, C major.  The last chord kind of deviates from the rest of the song, might sound a bit weird

4/4 beat at the beginning
Gets faster later in the song

A – B – C – B - C

Based on:
Psalms 140
Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

Lyrics:
Deliver me, oh Lord my savior,
From the evil man.
Preserve me, oh God my King,
From the violent man.
Mischief are in their hearts,
Their tongues like serpents, their souls are dark.
Deliver me, oh Lord my God,
From the evil man.

Deliver me from their wicked hearts, oo-oh Lord.
Deliver me from the evil man, oo-oh God.

Grant not the desires of the wicked.
Save me from their plans.
Maintain not, oh King of Kings,
Cause of the sinful man,
Lord, there is no one higher
Than you, oh God , my sire.
They are all thieves and liars,
Lord, let all the wicked be cast into fire.
