1.3 KiB

Prayer for Deliverance from Evil Men

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.
