King James Version
Psalms • Chapter 140
1
For the choirmaster, a psalm of David.
2
Deliver me, O LORD, from evil man, from violent man save me.
3
Those who think evil thoughts in their heart all day long will be terrified by wars.
4
We have sharpened our tongue like a serpent; the venom of asps is under our lips. Selah.
5
The Lord will keep me from the hands of the wicked, from the man of violence who planned to push me down.
6
The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords have spread a net by the side of the path; they have dug a pit for me. Selah.
7
I said to the Lord, "You are my God; listen, O Lord, to my voice of supplication."
8
The LORD is my strength of salvation; He has covered my head in the day of battle.
9
Do not give, O Lord, the desire of the wicked; do not let their plan be established. Selah.
10
The head of the circle will cover his toil of lips.
11
They will fall upon them like coals in the fire; they will be cast down in shudderings; they will not rise.
12
A man of tongue will not be established in the earth; a man of violence will be hunted down.
13
I know that the LORD will execute justice for the poor and judgment for the needy.
