Psalm 140:4

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.

Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him:

{To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David.} Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

My God, rescue me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.

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

When thou holdest my goings in thy paths, my footsteps slip not.

It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to wrong the righteous in judgment.
