Psalm 140

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:1} Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:2} Which imagine mischiefs in [their] heart; continually are they gathered together [for] war. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:3} They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison [is] under their lips. Selah. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 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. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:6} I said unto the LORD, Thou [art] my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:7} O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:8} Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; [lest] they exalt themselves. Selah. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:9} [As for] the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:10} Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:11} Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [him.] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:12} I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, [and] the right of the poor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Psalms 140:13} Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
