19_PSA_140_01 to the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
19_PSA_140_02 which imagine mischiefs in [ their] heart; continually are they gathered together [ for] war.
19_PSA_140_03 they have sharpened their tongues like A serpent; adders' poison [ Is] under their lips. Selah.
19_PSA_140_04 keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
19_PSA_140_05 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.
19_PSA_140_06 I said unto the LORD, thou [ art] my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.
19_PSA_140_07 O God the LORD, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
19_PSA_140_08 grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; [ lest] they Exalt themselves. Selah.
19_PSA_140_09 [ as for] the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
19_PSA_140_10 let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
19_PSA_140_11 let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [ him].
19_PSA_140_12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, [ And] the right of the poor.
19_PSA_140_13 surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
