Psalms 140:4-9 O Jehovah, keep me from the hands of the wicked; keep me from the violent man who purposed to trip up my steps.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ O Jehovah, keep me from the hands of the wicked; keep me from the violent man who purposed to trip up my steps. ⁵ The proud have hidden cords and a trap for me; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set snares for me. Selah. ⁶ I said to Jehovah, You are my God; O Jehovah, hear the voice of my prayers. ⁷ O Lord Jehovah, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle. ⁸ O Jehovah, do not grant the desires of the wicked; do not help his wicked plans, lest they praise themselves. Selah. ⁹ As for the head of those around me, let the evil of their own lips cover them.
