Psalms - Chapter 140 - King James Version
- Deliver me, OLORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
- Which imagine mischiefs intheirheart; continually are they gathered togetherforwar.
- They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poisonisunder their lips. Selah.
- Keep me, OLORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
- 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.
- I said unto theLORD, Thouartmy God: hear the voice of my supplications, OLORD.
- OGODthe Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
- Grant not, OLORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device;lestthey exalt themselves. Selah.
- As forthe head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
- Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
- Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrowhim.
- I know that theLORDwill maintain the cause of the afflicted,andthe right of the poor.
- Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
