Psalms 140

1 For the leader. A psalm of David: Rescue me, ADONAI, from evil people, protect me from violent people.

1 Rescue me, LORD, from evildoers; protect me from the violent,

2 They plan evil things in their hearts they continually stir up bitter strife.

2 who devise evil plans in their hearts and stir up war every day.

3 They have made their tongues as sharp as a snake's; viper's venom is under their lips. (Selah)

3 They make their tongues as sharp as a serpent’s; the poison of vipers is on their lips.

4 Keep me, ADONAI, from the hands of the wicked, protect me from violent people who are trying to trip me up.

4 Keep me safe, LORD, from the hands of the wicked; protect me from the violent, who devise ways to trip my feet.

5 The arrogant hide snares for me; they spread nets by the side of the road, hoping to trap me there. (Selah)

5 The arrogant have hidden a snare for me; they have spread out the cords of their net and have set traps for me along my path.

6 I said to ADONAI, "You are my God; listen, ADONAI, to my plea for mercy."

6 I say to the LORD, “You are my God.” Hear, LORD, my cry for mercy.

7 ADONAI, Adonai, my saving strength, my helmet shielding my head in battle,

7 Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, you shield my head in the day of battle.

8 ADONAI, don't grant the wicked their wishes; make their plot fail, so they won't grow proud. (Selah)

8 Do not grant the wicked their desires, LORD; do not let their plans succeed.

9 May the heads of those who surround me be engulfed in the evil they spoke of, themselves.

9 Those who surround me proudly rear their heads; may the mischief of their lips engulf them.

10 May burning coals rain down on them, may they be flung into the fire, flung into deep pits, never to rise again.

10 May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, never to rise.

11 Let slanderers find no place in the land; let the violent and evil be hunted relentlessly.

11 May slanderers not be established in the land; may disaster hunt down the violent.

12 I know that ADONAI gives justice to the poor and maintains the rights of the needy.

12 I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.

13 The righteous will surely give thanks to your name; the upright will live in your presence.

13 Surely the righteous will praise your name, and the upright will live in your presence.
