Psalms Capítulo 140

140 : 1 Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man,

140 : 2 and men who devise mischievous things in their heart. They gather themselves continually together for war.

140 : 3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent. Adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

140 : 4 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of a wicked man. Preserve me from violent men, who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.

140 : 5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords. They have spread a net by the wayside. They have set snares for me. Selah.

140 : 6 I said to Jehovah, Thou are my God. Give ear to the voice of my supplications, O Jehovah.

140 : 7 O Jehovah the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou have covered my head in the day of battle.

140 : 8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked man. Do not further his evil device. They exalt themselves. Selah.

140 : 9 As for the head of those who encompass me around, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

140 : 10 Let burning coals fall upon them. Let them be cast into the fire, into deep pits, from where they shall not rise.

140 : 11 An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth. Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

140 : 12 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted man, and justice for the needy.

140 : 13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to thy name. The upright shall dwell in thy presence.
