Psalms 140

<< Psalms 140 >>
King James Bible with Strong's Numbers
 

1 To the chief Musician A Psalm of David Deliver me O LORD from the evil man preserve me from the violent man

2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart continually are they gathered together for war

3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent adders' poison is under their lips Selah

4 Keep me O LORD from the hands of the wicked preserve me from the violent man who have purposed to overthrow my goings

5 The proud have hid a snare for me and cords they have spread a net by the wayside __ they have set gins for me Selah

6 I said unto the LORD Thou art my God hear the voice of my supplications O LORD

7 O GOD the Lord the strength of my salvation thou hast covered my head in the day of battle

8 Grant not O LORD the desires of the wicked further not his wicked device lest they exalt themselves Selah

9 As for the head of those that compass me about let the mischief of their own lips cover them

10 Let burning coals fall upon them let them be cast into the fire into deep pits that they rise not up again

11 Let not an evil speaker __ be established in the earth evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him

12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted and the right of the poor

13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name the upright shall dwell in thy presence
