Psalms 140

PSALM 140
1 To victory, the psalm of David. Lord, deliver thou me from an evil man; deliver thou me from a wicked man.
2Which thought wickednesses in the heart; all day they ordained battles.
3They sharpened their tongues as serpents; the venom of snakes is under the lips of them.
4Lord, keep thou me from the hand of the sinner; and deliver thou me from wicked men. Which thought to deceive my goings;
5proud men hid a snare to me. And they laid forth cords into a snare; they setted a trap to me beside the way.
6I said to the Lord, Thou art my God; Lord, hear thou the voice of my beseeching.
7Lord, Lord, the virtue of mine health; thou madest a shadow on mine head in the day of battle.
8Lord, betake thou not me from my desire to the sinner; they thought against me, forsake thou not me, lest peradventure they be enhanced.
9The head of the compass of them; the travail of their lips shall cover them.
10Coals shall fall on them, thou shalt cast them down into fire; into wretchednesses where they shall not be able to stand.
11A man that is a great jangler shall not be dressed [or rightforth ruled] in earth; evils shall take an unjust man into perishing.
12I have known, that the Lord shall make doom of a needy man; and the vengeance of poor men.
13Nevertheless just [or rightwise] men shall acknowledge to thy name; and rightful [or right] men shall dwell with thy cheer.
