Psalms 140

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

7 Sovereign LORD, my strong deliverer, you shield 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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