140:1 To
the
chiefe
Musician,
A
Psalme
of
Dauid.
Deliuer
me,
O
Lord,
from
the
euill
man:
preserue
me
from
the
violent
man.
140:2 Which
imagine
mischiefes
in
their
heart:
continually
are
they
gathered
together
for
warre.
140:3 They
haue
sharpned
their
tongues
like
a
serpent:
adders
poison
is
vnder
their
lips.
Selah.
140:4 Keepe
me,
O
Lord,
from
the
hands
of
the
wicked,
preserue
me
from
the
violent
man:
who
haue
purposed
to
ouerthrow
my
goings.
140:5 The
proude
haue
hid
a
snare
for
me
and
cords,
they
haue
spread
a
net
by
the
way
side:
they
haue
set
grinnes
for
me.
Selah.
140:6 I
said
vnto
the
Lord,
Thou
art
my
God:
heare
the
voyce
of
my
supplications,
O
Lord.
140:7 O
God
the
Lord,
the
strength
of
my
saluation:
thou
hast
couered
my
head
in
the
day
of
battell.
140:8 Grant
not,
O
Lord,
the
desires
of
the
wicked:
further
not
his
wicked
deuice,
lest
they
exalt
themselues.
Selah.
140:9 As
for
the
head
of
those
that
compasse
me
about:
let
the
mischiefe
of
their
owne
lips
couer
them.
140:10 Let
burning
coales
fall
vpon
them,
let
them
be
cast
into
the
fire:
into
deepe
pits,
that
they
rise
not
vp
againe.
140:11 Let
not
an
euill
speaker
bee
established
in
the
earth:
euill
shall
hunt
the
violent
man
to
ouerthrow
him.
140:12 I
know
that
the
Lord
will
maintaine
the
cause
of
the
afflicted:
and
the
right
of
the
poore.
140:13 Surely
the
righteous
shall
giue
thankes
vnto
thy
Name:
the
vpright
shall
dwell
in
thy
presence.
