New King James Version
Psalms 140
1 Preserve me from violent men, 2 They continually gather together for war. 3 Selah 4 Who have purposed to make my steps stumble. 5 Selah 6 Hear the voice of my supplications, O Lord. 7 You have covered my head in the day of battle. 8 Selah 9 Let the evil of their lips cover them; 10 Into deep pits, that they rise not up again. 11 Let evil hunt the violent man to overthrow him.” 12 And justice for the poor. 13 The upright shall dwell in Your presence.
