Psalms 140

Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; Which imagine mischiefs in
their heart; continually are they gathered together
for war. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison
is under their lips. Selah. Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 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. I said unto the LORD, Thou
art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device;
lest they exalt themselves. Selah. As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow
him. I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and the right of the poor. Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
