Psalms 140:1

Prayer for Deliverance from Evil Men

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men,

2 Who plan evil things in their hearts;
^aThey continually gather together for war.

3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent;
The ^apoison of asps is under their lips. Selah

4 ^aKeep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;
Preserve me from violent men,
Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.

5 The proud have hidden a ^asnare for me, and cords;
They have spread a net by the wayside;
They have set traps for me. Selah
