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 cause, Against a nation, without lovingkindness, From the man of deceit and perversity, wilt thou deliver me?

Rescue me from my foes, O my God, From them who lift themselves up against me, wilt thou set me on high:

Oh my God, deliver me, From the hand of the lawless one, From the clutch of the perverse and ruthless one;

Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, - who have devised, to thrust at my steps:

Who hath delivered me from my foes, - Yea, from mine assailants, hast thou set me on high, From the man of violence, hast thou rescued me.
