Psalms 140:1-9

VIN(i) 1 For the music director. A psalm of David. Rescue me, O LORD, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men, 2 who craft evil plans in their minds, inciting wars every day. 3 They sharpen their tongue as sharp as a snake's; the venom of a viper is under their lips. Selah 4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the man of violence, who have purposed to overthrow my steps. 5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah. 6 I have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer. 7 LORD, my Lord, my strong deliverer, you have protected my head in the time of battle. 8 LORD, do not grant the desires of the wicked. Do not let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah. 9 Let the heads of those who surround me be covered with their own threats.
