Ps 140

1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man; 2 Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars. 3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom 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 make my steps slip. 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 have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications. 7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle, 8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that 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 A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; the violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust. 12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy. 13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.
