# Chapter 140
|
|
1. Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
|
|
Preserve me from violent men,
|
|
|
|
2. Who plan evil things in their hearts;
|
|
They continually gather together for war.
|
|
|
|
3. They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
|
|
The poison of asps is under their lips. Selah
|
|
|
|
4. Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
|
|
Preserve me from violent men,
|
|
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.
|
|
|
|
5. The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords;
|
|
They have spread a net by the wayside;
|
|
They have set traps for me. Selah
|
|
|
|
6. I said to the Lord: "You are my God;
|
|
Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
|
|
|
|
7. O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
|
|
You have covered my head in the day of battle.
|
|
|
|
8. Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
|
|
Do not further his wicked scheme,
|
|
Lest they be exalted. Selah
|
|
|
|
9. "As for the head of those who surround me,
|
|
Let the evil of their 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 a slanderer be established in the earth;
|
|
Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him."
|
|
|
|
12. I know that the Lord will maintain
|
|
The cause of the afflicted,
|
|
And justice for the poor.
|
|
|
|
13. Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name;
|
|
The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
