Psalms 140:1-7

Revised Standard Version RSV

1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men; preserve me from violent men,

2 who plan evil things in their heart, and stir up wars continually.

3 They make their tongue sharp as a serpent's, and under their lips is the poison of vipers. [Selah]

4 Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet.

5 Arrogant men have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net, by the wayside they have set snares for me. [Selah]

6 I say to the LORD, Thou art my God; give ear to the voice of my supplications, O LORD!

7 O LORD, my Lord, my strong deliverer, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
