(Psa 140:1) Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;
(Psa 140:2) Which imagine mischiefs in {their} heart; continually are they gathered together {for} war.
(Psa 140:3) They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison {is} under their lips. Selah.
(Psa 140:4) Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
(Psa 140:5) 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.
(Psa 140:6) I said unto the Lord, Thou {art} my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.
(Psa 140:7) O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
(Psa 140:8) Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; {lest} they exalt themselves. Selah.
(Psa 140:9) {As for} the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
(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.
(Psa 140:11) Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow {him}.
(Psa 140:12) I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, {and} the right of the poor.
(Psa 140:13) Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
