# 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.
