Psalms 140
a
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'
a
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
a
snare
for
me,
and
cords;
they
have
spread
a
net
by
the
wayside;
they
have
set
b
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
a
presence.
