Psalms 140:1-8

TKJU(i) 1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: Preserve me from the violent man; 2 those which imagine mischief in their heart; they are continually gathered together for war. 3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; the adder's poison is under their lips. Selah. 4 O LORD, keep me from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my steps. 5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set traps for me. Selah. 6 I said to the LORD, "You are my God: Hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle. 8 O LORD, grant not the desires of the wicked: Do not further his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
