Bible, King James Version
Psalms
Pss.140
[1] 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' 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 snare for me, and cords; they
have spread a net by the wayside; they have set 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 presence.
