Psalms 140

  1. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 🔗
  2. Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war. 🔗
  3. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders2019 poison is under their lips. Selah. 🔗
  4. Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 🔗
  5. 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. 🔗
  6. I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 🔗
  7. O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. 🔗
  8. Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah. 🔗
  9. As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. 🔗
  10. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. 🔗
  11. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 🔗
  12. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor. 🔗
  13. Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. 🔗
