Psalms 140:1-13

<
<To the chief Musician <05329> (8764)_,
A Psalm
<04210>
of David
<01732>.>>
Deliver
<02502> (8761)
me, O LORD
<03068>_,
from the evil
<07451>
man
<0120>_:
preserve
<05341> (8799)
me from the violent
<02555>
man
<0376>_;
{violent...: Heb. man of violences}
Which imagine
<02803> (8804)
mischiefs
<07451>
in [their] heart
<03820>_;
continually
<03117>
are they gathered together
<01481> (8799)
[for] war
<04421>_.
They have sharpened
<08150> (8804)
their tongues
<03956>
like a serpent
<05175>_;
adders
<05919>_'
poison
<02534>
[is] under their lips
<08193>_.
Selah
<05542>_.
Keep
<08104> (8798)
me, O LORD
<03068>_,
from the hands
<03027>
of the wicked
<07563>_;
preserve
<05341> (8799)
me from the violent
<02555>
man
<0376>_;
who have purposed
<02803> (8804)
to overthrow
<01760> (8800)
my goings
<06471>_.
The proud
<01343>
have hid
<02934> (8804)
a snare
<06341>
for me, and cords
<02256>_;
they have spread
<06566> (8804)
a net
<07568>
by the wayside
<03027> <04570>_;
they have set
<07896> (8804)
gins
<04170>
for me. Selah
<05542>_.
I said
<0559> (8804)
unto the LORD
<03068>_,
Thou [art] my God
<0410>_:
hear
<0238> (8685)
the voice
<06963>
of my supplications
<08469>_,
O LORD
<03068>_.
O GOD
<03069>
the Lord
<0136>_,
the strength
<05797>
of my salvation
<03444>_,
thou hast covered
<05526> (8804)
my head
<07218>
in the day
<03117>
of battle
<05402>_.
Grant
<05414> (8799)
not, O LORD
<03068>_,
the desires
<03970>
of the wicked
<07563>_:
further
<06329> (8686)
not his wicked device
<02162>_;
[lest] they exalt
<07311> (8799)
themselves. Selah
<05542>_.
{lest...: or, let them not be exalted}
[As for] the head
<07218>
of those that compass me about
<04524>_,
let the mischief
<05999>
of their own lips
<08193>
cover
<03680> (8762)
them.
Let burning coals
<01513>
fall
<04131> (8735) (8675) <04131> (8686)
upon them: let them be cast
<05307> (8686)
into the fire
<0784>_;
into deep pits
<04113>_,
that they rise not up again
<06965> (8799)_.
Let not an evil speaker
<0376> <03956>
be established
<03559> (8735)
in the earth
<0776>_:
evil
<07451>
shall hunt
<06679> (8799)
the violent
<02555>
man
<0376>
to overthrow
<04073>
[him]. {an...: or, an evil speaker (Heb. a man of tongue), a wicked man of violence, be established in the earth: let him be hunted to his overthrow}
I know
<03045> (8804)
that the LORD
<03068>
will maintain
<06213> (8799)
the cause
<01779>
of the afflicted
<06041>_,
[and] the right
<04941>
of the poor
<034>_.
Surely the righteous
<06662>
shall give thanks
<03034> (8686)
unto thy name
<08034>_:
the upright
<03477>
shall dwell
<03427> (8799)
in thy presence
<06440>_.
