Chapter 140

1


 

  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. Psalm 141 A Psalm by David.
