The Book of Psalms 140

140 For the chief musician. A psalm of David.

140 Yahweh, rescue me from men of wickedness;

preserve me from men of violence.

2 For they plan evil in their hearts;

they assemble for battles every day.

3 Their tongues pierce like a serpent;

vipers’ poison is on their lips. Selah

4 Keep me from the hands of the wicked, Yahweh;

preserve me from men of violence

who plan to push down my step.

5 The proud have set a trap for me;

and with ropes they have spread a net by hand along the path;

they have set snares for me. Selah

6 I said to Yahweh, “You are my God;

Yahweh, give ear to my cries for mercy.”

7 Yahweh, my Lord, you are the strength of my salvation;

you shield my head in the day of battle.

8 Yahweh, do not grant the desires of the wicked;

do not promote their plots, they rise up Selah

9 Those who surround me raise their heads;

let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

10 Let burning coals fall on them;

throw them into the fire,

into bottomless pits, never again will they rise.

11 May men of tongues not be established in the land;

may evil hunt down the man of violence speedily.

12 I know that Yahweh will act with favor for the poor,

justice to the needy.

13 Surely the righteous will praise your name;

the upright will dwell before your face.
