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 sinners drive me away.

A wicked man watches a righteous man, and seeks to kill him.

Give ear to my prayer, O God, and hide not thyself from my supplication.

Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of a wicked man, out of the hand of an unrighteous and cruel man.

Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man,

My steps have held fast to thy paths. My feet have not slipped.

To respect the person of a wicked man is not good, [nor] to turn aside a righteous man in judgment.
