Psalms 140Deliver Me, O Lord, From Evil Men
To The Chief Musician, A Psalm Of David
King James Version
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;adders' 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;who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
they have spread a net by the wayside;
they have set gins for me. Selah.
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:into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
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:and the right of the poor.
the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
