Psa.|140:Title|-|To the choir director. A |a|Psalm of David
Psa.|140:1|-||1|Deliver me, O Jehovah, from evil men;From violent men preserve me;
Psa.|140:2|-|Who devise evil schemes in their heartsAnd continually stir up wars.
Psa.|140:3|-|They have sharpened their tongues like that of a serpent;The |a|poison of adders is under their lips. Selah
Psa.|140:4|-|Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked;From violent men preserve me;
Who devise schemes to thrust me down.
Psa.|140:5|-|The proud have hidden a trap for me and cords;They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set snares for me. Selah
Psa.|140:6|-|I said to Jehovah, You are my God;Give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.
Psa.|140:7|-|O Jehovah Lord, strength of my salvation,You have covered my head in the day of battle.
Psa.|140:8|-|O Jehovah, do not grant the desires of the wicked man;Do not let his evil scheme advance,
Lest he be exalted. Selah
Psa.|140:9|-|As for the head of those who surround me,May the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Psa.|140:10|-|May burning coals drop down upon them;May they be thrown down into the fire,
Into deep pits, never to rise again.
Psa.|140:11|-|Let no slanderer be established in the land;Let evil hunt down the violent man speedily.
Psa.|140:12|-|I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflictedAnd justice for the needy.
Psa.|140:13|-|Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name;The upright will dwell in Your presence.
