Psalms 140

1For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Deliver^H2502 me, O Jehovah^H3068, from the evil^H7451 man^H376; Preserve^H5341 me from the violent^H2555 man^H376: 2Who devise^H2803 mischiefs^H7451 in their heart^H3820; Continually^H3117 do they gather themselves together^H1481 for war^H4421. 3They have sharpened^H8150 their tongue^H3956 like a serpent^H5175; Adders^H5919' poison^H2534 is under their lips^H8193. Selah 4Keep^H8104 me, O Jehovah^H3068, from the hands^H3027 of the wicked^H7563; Preserve^H5341 me from the violent^H2555 man^H376: Who have purposed^H2803 to thrust^H1760 aside my steps^H6471. 5The proud^H1343 have hid^H2934 a snare^H6341 for me, and cords^H2256; They have spread^H6566 a net^H7568 by the wayside^H3027; They have set^H7896 gins^H4170 for me^H5542. Selah 6I said^H559 unto Jehovah^H3068, Thou art my God^H410: Give ear^H238 unto the voice^H6963 of my supplications^H8469, O Jehovah^H3068. 7O Jehovah^H3069 the Lord^H136, the strength^H5797 of my salvation^H3444, Thou hast covered^H5526 my head^H7218 in the day^H3117 of battle^H5402. 8Grant^H5414 not, O Jehovah^H3068, the desires^H3970 of the wicked^H7563; Further^H6329 not his evil device^H2162, lest they exalt^H7311 themselves^H5542. Selah 9As for the head^H7218 of those that compass me about^H4524, Let the mischief^H5999 of their own lips^H8193 cover^H3680 them. 10Let burning coals^H1513 fall^H4131 upon them: Let them be cast^H5307 into the fire^H784, Into deep pits^H4113, whence they shall not rise^H6965. 11An evil speaker^H376 shall not be established^H3559 in the earth^H776: Evil^H7451 shall hunt^H6679 the violent^H2555 man^H376 to overthrow^H4073 him. 12I know^H3045 that Jehovah^H3068 will maintain^H6213 the cause^H1779 of the afflicted^H6041, And justice^H4941 for the needy^H34. 13Surely the righteous^H6662 shall give thanks^H3034 unto thy name^H8034: The upright^H3477 shall dwell^H3427 in thy presence^H6440.
