Psalm 140 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Who ^H834 think ^H2803 up evil ^H7451 things ^H7451 in their hearts ^H3820;

They continually ^H3605 H3117 stir ^H1481 up wars ^H4421.

They sharpen ^H8150 their tongues ^H3956 as a serpent ^H5175;

Poison ^H2534 of an asp ^H5919 is under ^H8478 their lips ^H8193. [fn]Selah ^H5542.

Keep ^H8104 me, O Yahweh ^H3068, from the hands ^H3027 of the wicked ^H7563;

Guard ^H5341 me from violent ^H2555 men ^H376

Who ^H834 [fn]give ^H2803 thought ^H2803 to [fn]trip ^H1760 up ^H1760 my steps ^H6471.

The proud ^H1343 have hidden ^H2934 a trap ^H6341 for me, and cords ^H2256;

They have spread ^H6566 a net ^H7568 by the [fn]wayside ^H4570;

They have set ^H7896 snares ^H4170 for me. Selah ^H5542.

I said ^H559 to Yahweh ^H3068, “You are my God ^H410;

Give ^H238 ear ^H238, O Yahweh ^H3068, to the voice ^H6963 of my supplications ^H8469.

“O Yahweh ^H3068, O Lord ^H136, the strength ^H5797 of my salvation ^H3444,

You have covered ^H5526 my head ^H7218 in the day ^H3117 of [fn]battle ^H5402.

“Do not grant ^H5414, O Yahweh ^H3068, the desires ^H3970 of the wicked ^H7563;

Do not promote ^H6329 his evil [fn]scheme ^H2162, that they not be exalted ^H7311. Selah ^H5542.

“As for the head ^H7218 of those who surround ^H5437 me,

May the trouble ^H5999 from their lips ^H8193 cover ^H3680 them.

“May burning ^H784 coals ^H1513 be ^H4131 shaken ^H4131 out ^H4131 upon them;

May He cause ^H5307 them to ^H5037 fall ^H5307 into the fire ^H784,

Into [fn]bottomless ^H4113 pits ^H4113 from which they can never ^H1077 rise ^H6965.

“May a [fn]slanderer ^H376 H3956 not be established ^H3559 in the earth ^H776;

May evil ^H7451 hunt ^H6679 the violent ^H2555 man ^H376 [fn]speedily ^H4073.”

I know ^H3045 that Yahweh ^H3068 will maintain ^H6213 the cause ^H1779 for the afflicted ^H6031

And judgment ^H4941 for the needy ^H34.

Surely ^H389 the righteous ^H6662 will give ^H3034 thanks ^H3034 to Your name ^H8034;

The upright ^H3477 will abide ^H3427 in Your presence ^H6440.
