Psalms 140-Recovery Version

【RCV】Psalms 140

1
Deliver me, O Jehovah, from evil men; From violent men preserve me;
2
Who devise evil schemes in their hearts And continually stir up wars.
3
They have sharpened their tongues like that of a serpent; The poison of adders is under their lips. Selah
4
Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; From violent men preserve me; Who devise schemes to thrust me down.
5
The proud have hidden a trap for me and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set snares for me. Selah
6
I said to Jehovah, You are my God; Give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.
7
O Jehovah Lord, 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 man; Do not let his evil scheme advance, Lest he be exalted. Selah
9
As for the head of those who surround me, May the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10
May burning coals drop down upon them; May they be thrown down into the fire, Into deep pits, never to rise again.
11
Let no slanderer be established in the land; Let evil hunt down the violent man speedily.
12
I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted And justice for the needy.
13
Surely the righteous will give thanks to Your name; The upright will dwell in Your presence.
