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.

Watch me as the pupil of the daughter of the eye: thou wilt hide me in the shadow of thy wings.

The foot of pride shall not come to me, and the hand of the unjust shall not move me.

The unjust watches for the just, and seeks to kill him,

To the overseer upon the stringed instrument, instruction to David. Give ear O God, to my prayer; thou wilt not hide thyself from my supplication.

My God, deliver me from the hand of the unjust one, from the hand of him transgressing, and the violent one.

To the overseer, chanting to David: Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man: wilt thou guard me from the man of violences

Hold up my being straight in thy ways, my steps be not moved

To lift up the face of the unjust one is not good; to turn aside the just one in judgment.
