Psalms Chapter 140The Darby Bible2: 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 God: 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.
