19_PSA_140_01 to the chief Musician , A Psalm of David . deliver me , O LORD , from the evil man : preserve me from the violent man ;
19_PSA_140_02 which imagine mischiefs in [ their ] heart ; continually are they gathered together [ for ] war .
19_PSA_140_03 they have sharpened their tongues like A serpent ; adders' poison [ Is ] under their lips . Selah .
19_PSA_140_04 keep me , O LORD , from the hands of the wicked ; preserve me from the violent man ; who have purposed to overthrow my goings .
19_PSA_140_05 the proud have hid A snare for me , And cords ; they have spread A net by the wayside ; they have set gins for me . Selah .
19_PSA_140_06 I said unto the LORD , thou [ art ] my God : hear the voice of my supplications , O LORD .
19_PSA_140_07 O God the LORD , the strength of my salvation , thou hast covered my head in the day of battle .
19_PSA_140_08 grant not , O LORD , the desires of the wicked : further not his wicked device ; [ lest ] they Exalt themselves . Selah .
19_PSA_140_09 [ as for ] the head of those that compass me about , let the mischief of their own lips cover them .
19_PSA_140_10 let burning coals fall upon them : let them be cast into the fire ; into deep pits , that they rise not up again .
19_PSA_140_11 let not an evil speaker be established in the earth : evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow [ him ] .
19_PSA_140_12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted , [ And ] the right of the poor .
19_PSA_140_13 surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name : the upright shall dwell in thy presence .
