Psalm 140:1–13
1 Rescue me,v Lord, from evildoers;
protect me from the violent,w
2 who devise evil plansx in their hearts
and stir up wary every day.
3 They make their tongues as sharp asz a serpent’s;
the poison of vipersa is on their lips.b
4 Keep me safe,b Lord, from the hands of the wicked;c
protect me from the violent,
who devise ways to trip my feet.
5 The arrogant have hidden a snared for me;
they have spread out the cords of their nete
and have set trapsf for me along my path.
6 I say to the Lord, “You are my God.”g
Hear, Lord, my cry for mercy.h
7 Sovereign Lord,i my strong deliverer,
you shield my head in the day of battle.
8 Do not grant the wickedj their desires, Lord;
do not let their plans succeed.
9 Those who surround me proudly rear their heads;
may the mischief of their lips engulf them.k
10 May burning coals fall on them;
may they be thrown into the fire,l
into miry pits, never to rise.
11 May slanderers not be established in the land;
may disaster hunt down the violent.m
12 I know that the Lord secures justice for the poorn
and upholds the causeo of the needy.p
13 Surely the righteous will praise your name,q
