Psalms 140:1-4 ▼

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Deliver me, Yahweh, from evil men. Preserve me from violent men:

2 those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war.

3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips. Selah.

4 Yahweh, keep me from the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from the violent men who have determined to trip my feet.
