Psalms 140:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 140:8

6 I said to the Lord: “You are my God;
Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord.

7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation,
You have¹ covered my head in the day of battle.

8 Do not grant, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
Do not further his wicked scheme,
^aLest they be exalted. Selah

9 “As for the head of those who surround me,
Let the evil of their lips cover them;

10 ^aLet burning coals fall upon them;
Let them be cast into the fire,
Into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
