Psalms

(Of the Director; a psalm; of David’s.)

140 Rescue me, Jehovah, from evil men,

guard me from injurious men,

2 Who think of mischief at heart,

are starting fights all day,

3 Have whetted their tongues like a snake’s,

have under their lips an adder’s venom. (Selah)

4 Keep me out of wrong-doers’ hands, Jehovah,

guard me from injurious men,

who plan to give my feet a shove.

5 Proud men have buried a trap for me

and persecutors have spread a net,

on the roadside they have set snares for me. (Selah)

6 I have said to Jehovah “You are my God”;

give ear, Jehovah, to my suppliant voice.

7 Jehovah, my Lord, might of my salvation,

you have overarched my head when arms were busy.

8 Do not give what a wrong-doer hankers for;

do not let his design work out. [Selah]

9 Those who surround me are lifting their heads against me;

the mischief of their lips shall cover them,

10 Burning coals shall be dislodged upon them,

he shall drop them into a fire,

into pits where they shall not get up.

11 A man who depends on his tongue will not stand firm on earth; an injurious man evil shall hunt down stroke by stroke.

12 I know that Jehovah will execute sentence for a downtrodden man,

justice for needy men.

13 Honest men shall indeed give thanks to your name,

upright men shall be seated before your face.
