Psalms 140:9
chevron_left
chevron_right
1
Deliver me, O
L
ORD
, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
2
Which imagine mischiefs in
their
heart; continually are they gathered together
for
war.
3
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison
is
under their lips. Selah.
4
Keep me, O
L
ORD
, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
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 the
L
ORD
, Thou
art
my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O
L
ORD
.
7
O
G
OD
the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8
Grant not, O
L
ORD
, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device;
lest
they exalt themselves. Selah.
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, that they rise not up again.
11
Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow
him
.
12
I know that the
L
ORD
will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and
the right of the poor.
13
Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
