1.4 KiB
Deliver Me, O LORD, from Evil Men
Chapter 140
-
Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men; preserve me from violent men,
-
who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually.
-
They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's, and under their lips is the venom of asps. Selah
-
Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet.
-
The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah
-
I say to the LORD, You are my God; give ear to the voice of my pleas for mercy, O LORD!
-
O LORD, my Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle.
-
Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; do not further their evil plot, or they will be exalted! Selah
-
As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
-
Let burning coals fall upon them! Let them be cast into fire, into miry pits, no more to rise!
-
Let not the slanderer be established in the land; let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!
-
I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy.
-
Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name; the upright shall dwell in your presence.
