Chapter 140

1


 

  {To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David.} Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:  

 

 

-

2


 

  Who devise mischiefs in [their] heart; every day are they banded together for war.  

 

 

-

3


 

  They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.  

 

 

-

4


 

  Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked [man], preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.  

 

 

-

5


 

  The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. Selah.  

 

 

-

6


 

  I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my łGod: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.  

 

 

-

7


 

  Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. Selah.  

 

 

-

9


 

  [As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.  

 

 

-

10


 

  Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Let not the man of [evil] tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to [his] ruin.  

 

 

-

12


 

  I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Yea, the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
