Psalms 140

¹Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man;

²Who devise mischiefs in their heart;

³They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent;

⁴Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked;

⁵The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords;

⁶I said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God:

⁷O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation,

⁸Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked;

⁹As for the head of those that compass me about,

¹⁰Let burning coals fall upon them:

¹¹An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth:

¹²I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted,

¹³Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name:
