Psalm 140 – A Song of Worship and Reflection

Psalm 140

140:1 Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the

violent man;

140:2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they

gathered together for war.

140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison

is under their lips. Selah.

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.

140:5 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.

140:6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: hear the voice of my

supplications, O LORD.

140:7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered

my head in the day of battle.

140:8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked: further not his

wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.

140:9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief

of their own lips cover them.

140:10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the

fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

140:11 Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall

hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

140:12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,

and the right of the poor.

140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the

upright shall dwell in thy presence.
