Psalm 140

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.

New Living Translation NLT

1 O LORD, rescue me from evil people. Protect me from those who are violent,

2 those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long.

3 Their tongues sting like a snake; the venom of a viper drips from their lips. Interlude

4 O LORD, keep me out of the hands of the wicked. Protect me from those who are violent, for they are plotting against me.

5 The proud have set a trap to catch me; they have stretched out a net; they have placed traps all along the way. Interlude

6 I said to the LORD, “You are my God!” Listen, O LORD, to my cries for mercy!

7 O Sovereign LORD, the strong one who rescued me, you protected me on the day of battle.

8 LORD, do not let evil people have their way. Do not let their evil schemes succeed, or they will become proud. Interlude

9 Let my enemies be destroyed by the very evil they have planned for me.

10 Let burning coals fall down on their heads. Let them be thrown into the fire or into watery pits from which they can’t escape.

11 Don’t let liars prosper here in our land. Cause great disasters to fall on the violent.

12 But I know the LORD will help those they persecute; he will give justice to the poor.

13 Surely righteous people are praising your name; the godly will live in your presence.
