Psalms 140
Config
1 [(0)] For the leader. A psalm of David:
2 [(1)] Rescue me, ADONAI, from evil people, protect me from violent people.
3 [(2)] They plan evil things in their hearts — they continually stir up bitter strife.
4 [(3)] They have made their tongues as sharp as a snake’s; viper’s venom is under their lips. (Selah)
5 [(4)] Keep me, ADONAI, from the hands of the wicked, protect me from violent people who are trying to trip me up.
6 [(5)] The arrogant hide snares for me; they spread nets by the side of the road, hoping to trap me there. (Selah)
7 [(6)] I said to ADONAI, “You are my God; listen, ADONAI, to my plea for mercy.”
8 [(7)] ADONAI, Adonai, my saving strength, my helmet shielding my head in battle,
9 [(8)] ADONAI, don’t grant the wicked their wishes; make their plot fail, so they won’t grow proud. (Selah)
10 [(9)] May the heads of those who surround me be engulfed in the evil they spoke of, themselves.
11 [(10)] May burning coals rain down on them, may they be flung into the fire, flung into deep pits, never to rise again.
12 [(11)] Let slanderers find no place in the land; let the violent and evil be hunted relentlessly.
13 [(12)] I know that ADONAI gives justice to the poor and maintains the rights of the needy.
14 [(13)] The righteous will surely give thanks to your name; the upright will live in your presence.
