Psalm 140:1

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

{To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.} Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man;

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation;

O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man!

For the choir director; set to Al-tashheth. A Mikhtam of David, when Saul sent men and they watched the house in order to kill him.

Deliver me from my enemies, O my God;

Set me securely on high away from those who rise up against me.

Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,

Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,

Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked;

Preserve me from violent men

Who have purposed to

trip up my feet.

He delivers me from my enemies;
Surely You lift me above those who rise up against me;
You rescue me from the violent man.
