Psalms 140

New International Version NIV

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 (139-1) <Unto the end, a psalm of David.> (139-2) Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.

2 (139-3) Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.

3 (139-4) They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of asps is under their lips.

4 (139-5) Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps:

5 (139-6) The proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.

6 (139-7) I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.

7 (139-8) O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.

8 (139-9) Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.

9 (139-10) The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.

10 (139-11) Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.

11 (139-12) A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.

12 (139-13) I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.

13 (139-14) But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
