Psalm 140

King James Version KJV

1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered together for war.

3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

5 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.

6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

New American Standard Bible 1995 NASB95

1 Rescue me, O LORD , from evil men; Preserve me from violent men

2 Who devise evil things in their hearts; They continually stir up wars.

3 They sharpen their tongues as a serpent; Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah.

4 Keep me, O LORD , from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men Who have purposed to trip up my feet.

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.

6 I said to the LORD , "You are my God; Give ear, O LORD , to the voice of my supplications.

7 "O GOD the Lord , the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle.

8 "Do not grant, O LORD , the desires of the wicked; Do not promote his evil device, that they not be exalted. Selah.

9 "As for the head of those who surround me, May the mischief of their lips cover them.

10 "May burning coals fall upon them; May they be cast into the fire, Into deep pits from which they cannot rise.

11 "May a slanderer not be established in the earth; May evil hunt the violent man speedily."

12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted And justice for the poor.

13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence.
