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 with the shadow of thy wings,

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

Tzaddi The wicked watches the righteous and seeks to slay him.

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

Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the perverse and violent man.

Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the man of violence.

Sustain my steps in thy ways that my footsteps not slip.

To respect the person of the wicked so that the righteous loses that which is rightfully his is not good.
