Book - Psalms - Chapter = 140 --> NLT
-
O LORD, rescue me from evil people. Preserve me from those who are violent,
-
those who plot evil in their hearts and stir up trouble all day long.
-
Their tongues sting like a snake; the poison of a viper drips from their lips.
-
O LORD, keep me out of the hands of the wicked. Preserve me from those who are violent, for they are plotting against me.
-
The proud have set a trap to catch me; they have stretched out a net; they have placed traps all along the way.
-
I said to the LORD, "You are my God!" Listen, O LORD, to my cries for mercy!
-
O Sovereign LORD, my strong savior, you protected me on the day of battle.
-
LORD, do not give in to their evil desires. Do not let their evil schemes succeed, O God.
-
Let my enemies be destroyed by the very evil they have planned for me.
-
Let burning coals fall down on their heads, or throw them into the fire, or into deep pits from which they can't escape.
-
Don't let liars prosper here in our land. Cause disaster to fall with great force on the violent.
-
But I know the LORD will surely help those they persecute; he will maintain the rights of the poor.
-
Surely the godly are praising your name, for they will live in your presence.
