BOOK 5 / Prayer for Protection against the Wicked.: Библия онлайн, New American Standard Bible == БИБЛИЯ-ЦЕНТР

Psalms, Psalm 140

Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men

Who devise evil things in their hearts;
They continually stir up wars.

They sharpen their tongues as a serpent;
Poison of a viper is under their lips.^aSelah.

⁴

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men
Who have^bpurposed to^ctrip up my feet.

⁵

The proud have hidden a trap for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the^dwayside;
They have set snares for me. Selah.

⁶

I said to the LORD, “You are my God;
Give ear, O LORD, to the voice of my supplications.

⁷

“O^eGOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have covered my head in the day of^fbattle.

⁸

“Do not grant, O LORD, the desires of the wicked;
Do not promote his evil device, that they not be exalted. Selah.

⁹

“As for the head of those who surround me,
May the mischief of their lips cover them.

¹⁰

“May burning coals fall upon them;
May they be cast into the fire,
Into^gdeep pits from which they cannot rise.

¹¹

“May a^hslanderer not be established in the earth;
May evil hunt the violent manⁱspeedily.”

¹²

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted
And justice for the poor.

¹³

Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name;
The upright will dwell in Your presence.
