Psalm 140:2

Prayer For Rescue

¹ For the choir director. A Psalm of David.
Rescue me, O Lord, from evil men;
Preserve me from violent men
² Who devise evil things in their hearts;
They continually stir up wars.
³ They sharpen their tongues as a serpent;
Poison of a viper is under their lips. Selah.
