Psalms 140:1-9

Webster(i) 1 + 2 (140:1)To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 3 (140:2)Who imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they assembled for war. 4 (140:3)They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adder's poison is under their lips. Selah. 5 (140:4)Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. 6 (140:5)The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side: they have set gins for me. Selah. 7 (140:6)I said to the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my supplications, O LORD. 8 (140:7)O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle. 9 (140:8)Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
