Psalms Chapter 140 (KJV)
undefined
Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man;Preserve me from the violent man:
undefined
Who devise mischiefs in their heart;Continually do they gather themselves together for war.
undefined
They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent;Adders’ poison is under their lips. [Selah
undefined
Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked;Preserve me from the violent man:Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
undefined
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
undefined
I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God:Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.
undefined
O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation,Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
undefined
Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked;Further not his evil device, lest they exalt themselves. [Selah
undefined
As for the head of those that compass me about,Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
undefined
Let burning coals fall upon them:Let them be cast into the fire,Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise.
undefined
An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth:Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
undefined
I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted,And justice for the needy.
undefined
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
