140:1 To the chief Musician 5329 8764, A Psalm 4210 of David 1732. Deliver 2502 8761 me, O LORD 3068, from the evil 7451 man 120: preserve 5341 8799 me from the violent 2555 man 376;(violent…: Heb. man of violences)

140:2 Which imagine 2803 8804 mischiefs 7451 in [their] heart 3820; continually 3117 are they gathered together 1481 8799 [for] war 4421.

140:3 They have sharpened 8150 8804 their tongues 3956 like a serpent 5175; adders' 5919 poison 2534 [is] under their lips 8193. Selah 5542.

140:4 Keep 8104 8798 me, O LORD 3068, from the hands 3027 of the wicked 7563; preserve 5341 8799 me from the violent 2555 man 376; who have purposed 2803 8804 to overthrow 1760 8800 my goings 6471.

140:5 The proud 1343 have hid 2934 8804 a snare 6341 for me, and cords 2256; they have spread 6566 8804 a net 7568 by the wayside 3027 4570; they have set 7896 8804 gins 4170 for me. Selah 5542.

140:6 I said 559 8804 unto the LORD 3068, Thou [art] my God 410: hear 238 8685 the voice 6963 of my supplications 8469, O LORD 3068.

140:7 O GOD 3069 the Lord 136, the strength 5797 of my salvation 3444, thou hast covered 5526 8804 my head 7218 in the day 3117 of battle 5402.

140:8 Grant 5414 8799 not, O LORD 3068, the desires 3970 of the wicked 7563: further 6329 8686 not his wicked device 2162; [lest] they exalt 7311 8799 themselves. Selah 5542.(lest…: or, let them not be exalted)

140:9 [As for] the head 7218 of those that compass me about 4524, let the mischief 5999 of their own lips 8193 cover 3680 8762 them.

140:10 Let burning coals 1513 fall 4131 8735 8675 4131 8686 upon them: let them be cast 5307 8686 into the fire 784; into deep pits 4113, that they rise not up again 6965 8799.

140:11 Let not an evil speaker 376 3956 be established 3559 8735 in the earth 776: evil 7451 shall hunt 6679 8799 the violent 2555 man 376 to overthrow 4073 [him].(an…: Heb. a man of tongue: or an evil speaker, a wicked man of violence be established in the earth: let him be hunted to his overthrow)

140:12 I know 3045 8804 that the LORD 3068 will maintain 6213 8799 the cause 1779 of the afflicted 6041, [and] the right 4941 of the poor 34.
