Young's Literal Translation
Psalms, Chapter 140

   1: To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me.
   2: Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
   3: They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder [is] under their lips. Selah.
   4: Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
   5: The proud hid a snare for me -- and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. Selah.
   6: I have said to Jehovah, 'My God [art] Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.'
   7: O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armour.
   8: Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. Selah.
   9: The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them.
   10: They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits -- they arise not.
   11: A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence -- evil hunteth to overflowing.
   12: I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
   13: Only -- the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!
