Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 140
For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man; Who devise evil things in their heart; every day do they stir up wars. They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; vipers' venom is under their lips. Selah Psa 5:9; Psa 58:4Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to make my steps slip. 2Sa 22:3The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah Psa 64:5; Psa 142:4; Jer 18:22I have said unto the LORD: 'Thou art my God'; give ear, O LORD, unto the voice of my supplications. O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, who hast screened my head in the day of battle, Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device, so that they exalt themselves. Selah Deu 32:27As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Psa 7:14Let burning coals fall upon them; let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, that they rise not up again. Psa 11:6A slanderer shall not be established in the earth; the violent and evil man shall be hunted with thrust upon thrust. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy. Psa 9:18Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto Thy name; the upright shall dwell in Thy presence.
