Preserve me from the violent man; 140:2 Those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war. 140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper`s poison is under their lips. Selah. 140:4 Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men: Who have determined to trip my feet. 140:5 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. 140:6 I said to Yahweh, "You are my God." Listen to the cry of my petitions, Yahweh. 140:7 Yahweh, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle. 140:8 Yahweh, don`t grant the desires of the wicked. Don`t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah. 140:9 As for the head of those who surround me, Let the mischief of their own lips cover them. 140:10 Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, Into miry pits, from where they never rise. 140:11 An evil speaker won`t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him. 140:12 I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy. 140:13 Surely the righteous will give thanks to your name. The upright will dwell in your presence. Psalm 141 A Psalm by David.
