Psalm 140 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

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

They continually ^H3605 H3117 stir ^H1624 up ^H1624 wars ^H4421.

They sharpen ^H8150 their tongues ^H3956 like a snake ^H5175;

The venom ^H2534 of a viper ^H5919 is under ^H8478 their lips ^H8193. Selah ^H5542

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

Protect ^H5341 me from violent ^H2555 men ^H376

Who ^H834 [fn]intend ^H2803 to [fn]trip ^H1760 up ^H1760 my feet ^H6471.

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

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

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

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

Listen ^H238, LORD ^H3068, to the sound ^H6963 of my pleadings ^H8469.

“[fn]GOD ^H3068 the Lord ^H136, the strength ^H5797 of my salvation ^H3444,

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

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

Do not bring ^H6329 about ^H6329 his evil ^H2161 planning ^H2161, so that they are not exalted ^H7311. Selah ^H5542

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

May the harm ^H5999 of their lips ^H8193 cover ^H3680 them.

“May burning ^H784 coals ^H1513 fall ^H4131 upon them;

May they be cast ^H5307 into the fire ^H784,

Into bottomless ^H4113 pits ^H4113 from which they cannot ^H1077 rise ^H6965.

“May a [fn]slanderer ^H376 H3956 not endure ^H3559 on the earth ^H776;

May evil ^H7451 hunt ^H6679 a violent ^H2555 person ^H376 [fn]violently ^H4073.”

I know ^H3045 that the LORD ^H3068 will maintain ^H6213 the cause ^H1779 of the afflicted ^H6031,

And justice ^H4941 for the poor ^H34.

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

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