Psalm 140:1

Deliver me, O LORD, from evil men; preserve me from violent men,

who delivered me from my enemies; yes, you exalted me above those who rose against me; you rescued me from the man of violence.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.

Let not the slanderer be established in the land; let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!

Arise, O LORD! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,

Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me!

Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me;

Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet.

O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you "Violence!" and you will not save?
