Psalms Chapter 140 / WOR

World English Bible
Psalms, Chapter 140

   1: (For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.) Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man;
   2: Those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.
   3: They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper's poison is under their lips. Selah.
   4: Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men: Who have determined to trip my feet.
   5: The proud have hidden a snare for me, They have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah.
   6: I said to Yahweh, "You are my God." Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh.
   7: Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.
   8: Yahweh, don't grant the desires of the wicked. Don't let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah.
   9: As for the head of those who surround me, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
   10: Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, Into miry pits, from where they never rise.
   11: An evil speaker won't be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.
   12: I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.
   13: Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence.
