Psalms 140 (kjv)

140

To the chief MusicianH5329, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. DeliverH2502 me, O LORDH3068, from the evilH7451 manH120: preserveH5341 me from the violentH2555 manH376;2Which imagineH2803 mischiefsH7451 in their heartH3820; continuallyH3117 are they gathered togetherH1481 for warH4421.3They have sharpenedH8150 their tonguesH3956 like a serpentH5175; addersH5919' poisonH2534 is under their lipsH8193. SelahH5542.4KeepH8104 me, O LORDH3068, from the handsH3027 of the wickedH7563; preserveH5341 me from the violentH2555 manH376; who have purposedH2803 to overthrowH1760 my goingsH6471.5The proudH1343 have hidH2934 a snareH6341 for me, and cordsH2256; they have spreadH6566 a netH7568 by the waysideH3027 H4570; they have setH7896 ginsH4170 for me. SelahH5542.6I saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, Thou art my GodH410: hearH238 the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469, O LORDH3068.7O GODH3069 the LordH136, the strengthH5797 of my salvationH3444, thou hast coveredH5526 my headH7218 in the dayH3117 of battleH5402.

8GrantH5414 not, O LORDH3068, the desiresH3970 of the wickedH7563: furtherH6329 not his wicked deviceH2162; lest they exaltH7311 themselves. SelahH5542.9As for the headH7218 of those that compass me aboutH4524, let the mischiefH5999 of their own lipsH8193 coverH3680 them.10Let burning coalsH1513 fallH4131 H4131 upon them: let them be castH5307 into the fireH784; into deep pitsH4113, that they rise not up againH6965.11Let not an evil speakerH376 H3956 be establishedH3559 in the earthH776: evilH7451 shall huntH6679 the violentH2555 manH376 to overthrowH4073 him.

12I knowH3045 that the LORDH3068 will maintainH6213 the causeH1779 of the afflictedH6041, and the rightH4941 of the poorH34.13Surely the righteousH6662 shall give thanksH3034 unto thy nameH8034: the uprightH3477 shall dwellH3427 in thy presenceH6440.
