psalms 140

1 - Deliver me, The LORD, from the evil man.Preserve me from the violent man;

2 - those who devise mischief in their hearts.They continually gather themselves together for war.

3 - They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent.Viper's poison is under their lips.Selah.

4 - The LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked.Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.

5 - The proud have hidden a snare for me,they have spread the cords of a net by the path.They have set traps for me.Selah.

6 - I said to The LORD, "You are my God."Listen to the cry of my petitions, The LORD.

7 - The LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation,you have covered my head in the day of battle.

8 - The LORD, don't grant the desires of the wicked.Don't let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud.Selah.

9 - As for the head of those who surround me,let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10 - Let burning coals fall on them.Let them be thrown into the fire,into miry pits, from where they never rise.

11 - An evil speaker won't be established in the earth.Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

12 - I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,and justice for the needy.

13 - Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name.The upright will dwell in your presence.
