Psalms 140:4-9 Keep me, O LORD, from the hand of the ungodly; preserve me from the wicked men, who are purposed to overthrow my goings.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Keep me, O LORD, from the hand of the ungodly; preserve me from the wicked men, who are purposed to overthrow my goings. ⁵ The proud have laid a snare for me, and spread a net abroad with cords, yea and set traps in my way. Selah. ⁶ But my saying is unto the LORD, "Thou art my God; hear the voice of my prayer, O LORD!" ⁷ O LORD. O LORD God, thou strength of my health; thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. ⁸ Let not the ungodly have his desire, O LORD; let not his mischievous imagination prosper, lest they be too proud. Selah. ⁹ Let the mischief of their own lips fall upon the head of them that compass me about.
