American Standard Version
Psalms, Chapter 140

   1: Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:
   2: Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war.
   3: They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders' poison is under their lips. Selah
   4: Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.
   5: The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me. Selah
   6: I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: Give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.
   7: O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
   8: Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked; Further not his evil device, [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah
   9: As for the head of those that compass me about, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
   10: Let burning coals fall upon them: Let them be cast into the fire, Into deep pits, whence they shall not rise.
   11: An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
   12: I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.
   13: Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
