Chapter 140

1

 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man: 

 


2

 Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war. 

 


3

 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders' poison is under their lips. Selah 

 


4

 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps. 

 


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 Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah. 

 


7

 O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. 

 


8

 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil 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, whence they shall not rise. 

 


11

 An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 

 


12

 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy. 

 


13

 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: The upright shall dwell in thy presence. Psalm 141 A Psalm of David.
